these things need to come with an asterisk that states: *most likely adults over the age of 35.

There are still young religious people, and young social conservatives. It would be interesting to see the results by these demographics, but I do not think that young people are immune to ignorance.

You have a point. Still, I find that these people do not have much influence in or on our peer group as a whole. Nor do I see any forthcoming reason why that would change. Entirely anecdotal life experience though, so I guess it means nothing.

Unfortunately the adults over the age of 35 are teaching their children to just as stupid. So the "most likely" part goes out the window.
