I suspect this “religion” is planted so deeply it can’t be eradicated. The average USA 20-something knows far more about global warming than the US Constitution.
To paraphrase Mark Twain: It ain’t what the average 20 something don’t know about climate change that gets us into trouble. It’s what the average 20 something knows for sure about climate change that just ain’t so.
A minor correction, if I may:
The average USA 20-something thinks he knows knows far more about global warming than he obviously does know about the US Constitution.
“The average USA 20-something knows far more about global warming than the US Constitution.”
Not really. They know nothing about either of them. They have established attitudes about global warming—but no knowledge.
