#1 more than a quarter of adults do not know where Jesus was born.

Hardly a reason to panic. I expect more than a quarter of US adults could not name where they were born.

#2 One could also note that 75% answered the questions correctly.

Considering that 50% of folks are of below average intelligence, and considering the percentage of "immigrants" that live in the UK... I think the negative spin is unwarranted.

#3 And by the way, I didn't know that John the Baptist was Jesus' cousin. So sue me.

#4 Jesus? If you mean Leafblower Jesus, he's from Oaxaca. If you mean Jesus with the roofing crew, he was born in McAllen.

Yep, HeyZeus used to spend summers down by the riverside. Older cousins for the win.
