Nothing skewed here..... 60% being able to read the bible without depending on the Catholic church to interpret for them, is better than 0%. And think about it, that 60% could and was reading it to their family and congregations.
That's not the point. You contended that the Protestant translation of the bible ended the "dark ages" (which of course ended much earlier, but that aside...). But that about 200 years AFTER the reformation started in earnest, and well after Protestantism was firmly established, the literacy rate in England was still just over half kind of pokes holes in that theory. And remember, that is the rate for men, not the general population.
Your "common man" of the 1500 and 1600 hundreds did indeed have trouble reading the bible...Or reading anything for matter, regardless of what language the bible was available in.
