Is it a coincidence that Americans are the world's worst educated,and the most religious?Do we want to improve

Question

the education sytstem, even though all our religions will probably lose half of their members as a result? A wise man once postulated that Faith can't compete with Reality and Common Sense, and I think our religions should be protected from the truth..

Answer 1

I dont where you get you information from but the last time I checked America is the only country that has gone to Mars, has the only shuttle spacecraft, has the most hightech military in the world, the worlds only superpower and has the most educated citizens in the whole world.  American citizens hold more college degrees per capita that the rest of the world put together.

Answer 2

I really don't think you can say "Americans" [wonder if that leaves us Mexicans out} are the most religious-in less its the "Church of the Shopping Mall" your talking about. There are a lot of very religious countries. and think of the Renaissance etc

Answer 3

Worst educated,yes but not most religious.It's alarming to see number of people changing religion or becoming atheists in America.Most Americans I interacted with were ignorant about world affairs and even about other parts of their country than where they lived.I think the burden of being and remaining as a  super power is resting on the shoulders of no more than 15% of the population.How long can it go on?

Answer 4

yeah . . . there's definitely a correlation.  faith often times is the thief of truth.
