Religious literacy : what every American needs to know--and doesn't / Stephen Prothero.

Prothero, Stephen R. (Author).

Summary:

A religious primer serves as an argument for why religion should become a mandatory subject in American public schools, contending that most Americans are not able to identify basic tenets of their faith and that key political challenges can be better met with faith-based resolutions.
