“It could be that people are not very well educated and they are not expressing mature theological points of view,” said Todd Johnson, director of the Center for the Study of Global Christianity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.

Unfortunately, there is something to this. Look at Oprah, and many other people like that. What does she believe? I'm not sure it's well-defined. She just thinks things are good, things work out, you should behave, be a good person, don't be afraid ...

This is not a mature theological point of view.

I don't expect everyone to be able to recite the Apostles' Creed, but some folks know what they believe and a lot of other folks are kind of winging it.

Good point. Many people really don’t know what they believe or why. My point was to highlight how liberal elites just don’t understand religious people.
