Biblical literacy has plummeted drastically, especially among younger people. About half of Millennials believe the Bible's teachings oppress the LGBT community, women, and certain races. Sixty percent of them assert that the nation would be about the same or better off without the Bible. Only half of Christians can name all four of the gospels, and the same percentage think the Golden Rule is one of the Ten Commandments. The Christian body in America is immersed in a crisis of biblical illiteracy. God says in Hosea 4:6 that His people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because they have rejected knowledge, He will also reject them from being priest for Him. Because they have forgotten the law of their God, He will also forget their children. He speaks specifically of knowledge of God, but a lack of general knowledge causes similar problems. Ignorance, especially ignorance of God and His Word, will one day spell disaster for this nation. God says in Proverbs 1:29-32, speaking as Wisdom, that because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD, they would have none of His counsel and despised all His reproof. Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way. The turning away of the simple will slay them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them. Solomon later writes that wise people store up knowledge. Many of the nation's ills could be solved by banishing the cloud of ignorance that befogs so many minds.
