Ignorance is...

Apparently only 22% of people know that Easter is about Jesus.

At least, that's what the article says. If you look at the actual questions that got that result, it's clear that only 22% of the population _care_ about Jesus and his relationship with The Easter Bunny.

If it's true that people don't know that there is a historical linkage between "Easter" (the public holiday) and "Jesus" (the religious figure).

Because I don't think that is true. I think people know that. I just don't think they care. At least, not over here in the glorious land of Secularity :->

Ahh, got it. Sorry, not deliberately trying to be obtuse, just having trouble getting my brain going (which is a problem, because one of my classes is about to start).

Yeah, over here I'd say that there are probably a whole mess of people who know and don't care -- it's just that the people who care, care a whole hell of a lot. And they'll let you know about how much they care, whether you want to or not.

Didn't think you were being obtuse :->

Good luck with the class!
