- According to a Gallup poll in 1999, 18% believed that the earth was the center of the universe. On a side note, 3% said "no opinion". For some reason those folks could not be bothered with such pedestrian quandaries.
- As of a couple years ago, nearly one-third of Texans believed that dinosaurs and humans roamed the earth at the same time.
- A 2004 study showed that 51% of Americans believed in Creationism. Over half of the people in this country thought humans just showed up one day and were ready for homeschooling.
Which leads me to the most recent study illuminating some very interesting perceptions. According to a new Pew Research Center study, 18% of Americans believe Barack Obama is a Muslim, and 43% don't know what religion he prescribes to. Only 34% can correctly identify him as a Catholic.

The religion of the president (or anyone else for that matter) should be of no concern to anyone. When will freedom finally ring?
