[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder how many Christians of European descent realize that it's only because of Arab cultures and Arab scholars in medieval times that we have today's faith system intact.[/quote]

Most people of all religions or no religions do not know that Christianity is not a white, European religion. [/quote]

Oh come on, this is super outdated info. It’s not the 1950s. [/quote]

Most Americans attend public schools, and they get zero education about world religions outside of a few holidays that are celebrated. Some schools may have a single unit in social studies about non-US history and maybe a week spent on religions. Some kids will take a broader course in high school, like AP World. Many, many live in social groups that are not diverse and never get a chance to travel unless by car, and then its usually to a beach or lake or to visit family.[/quote]

My school did mention Paganism and Hedonism practiced in other countries. I hardly call anything outside of mainstream Judaism and mainstream Christian religions as actual religion. [/quote]

Whoa! And what about Islam and Hinduism, which are very major global religions?[/quote]
