I take the the "Half of Americans believe the world is 6,000 years old" is extrapolated from the number of practicing Jews and Christians in America?

Sounds like they are making a case for complete disenfranchisement of the same. Nazis published similar rhetoric in Germany about the Jews being incompatible with German society, culture, and progress.

Gas chambers, anyone?

Half of Americans believe the world is 6,000 years old

There have been polls on this. The number is probably less than half, but higher than any other country on earth. Those who live in foreign countries and have noticed this are somewhat bewildered.
