Question: What is the unwritten slogan of religious leaders?
This article is funny.

Is summary, the non religious know more about religions than the religious.
For what other entire product categories do the users know less about them than the non-users?
Trans fat?
What qualifies as knowledge? Does ideology and misinformation count as information?
Tyler Cowen made a very useful point to our class that there is a significant difference between acquiring knowledge of economics versus political ideology. I think that only knowlege consistent with scientific/objective type evidence should count. If applied, then many new age medicines and therapies: homeopathy, stone massages, maize covers cloth (yes, I just saw Grownups, pretty funny) all qualify as preying on the ignorant.
Thoughts?
