Overcoming Religious Illiteracy: Expanding the Boundaries of Religious Education
Abstract
After defining religious literacy, the article explores key characteristics of the study of religion based on the differentiation of the devotional expressions of religions and their study, the fact that religions are internally diverse, and that they are situated in cultures. A cultural studies approach to the teaching of religion is described. Implications are drawn for the work of religious educators.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
