No, it isn't. Though I'm beginning to see where this Christian persecution complex comes from if in fact many of your Christian brothers and sisters believe this.
Are you out of your mind? Multiple court cases exist at this point. You're arguing from a point of ignorance.

My wife had this happen to her in Memphis TN a few years back. Kids had heard of Jesus but didn't know who he was. They were 10-12ish years old.

I would have voted for the lottery, and I do not listen to Rick and Bubba.

It's really quite common. I'm surprised so many people don't know.
ETA: I guess I'm really not. This is the mindset that allows people to ignore the Biblical command to "go and tell everyone that Jesus Christ is Lord." People believe everyone near them knows about Christ and His message, so they believe that absolves them of any obligation to tell anyone about Him.

Wait, so his appearance in political advertisements and sway over countless rubes doesn't influence anything at all?

Maybe in the Middle East. Saying you don't know Christ died for your sins is like someone saying they didn't know about McDonalds. You know it simply through osmosis of living on this planet. There's multiple churches in every town in the nation, and most of them have billboards.

I watch TV through the internet, so I don't know anything about the advertisements. Were there a lot of them?
Did we even get a vote?

I also used to think this way. Unfortunately, it just isn't true. You don't have to believe me man. You can absolutely see it for yourself. Ask a local church that does good missions work where you can help spread the word closer to home. I am sure they know of an area where people have never been told.

You can absolutely see it for yourself. I guarantee you that if you go out on a mission trip with a church that you will find at least one person who has never been told about the gospel. If you aren't willing to do that, then you are welcome to live in your ignorance.

What he is saying is true. And it's also why I've become an opponent of what I call missionary tourism. Those week long junkets to Peru where you spend 1-2 days helping build a school and the rest of the week hiking the Andes.
We got mission fields here being egregiously ignored.

I'm not quite sure if you're being intentionally obtuse, or really don't believe that a major local talk show host with a religious following doesn't influence any of his listeners.

I'm an agnostic atheist, though I spent the vast majority of my life as a Christian. I was very active in evangelism for over 10 years.
Now obviously I don't do so anymore because I think its nonsense, but I acknowledge our Christian culture and how ubiquitous such knowledge is in our society. And I never in my time as a Christian talked to anyone over the age of 6-7 who couldn't tell me some basics about Jesus and who he was (or at leas who Christianity says he was).

Moving the goal posts now that you see no one went along with your garbage?
You said the KINDERGARTNER ("academic discussion?") came home with the story of Christmas before Christmas break. You did not say the child came home with the story of Christmas, the story of Hanukkah, the story of Kwanzaa, and the story of every other religious holiday that occurs around that time. Was it an academic discussion where they would have had to have taught about all religious beliefs, or were you simply being disingenuous?

Everything I saw said people were likely to vote yes on the lottery. What exactly are you angry about? The fact that he believes, like most Christians, that gambling is wrong and the state shouldn't endorse it? Do you think him not saying anything about it make Christians who disagree with it change their minds? I also agree with that view, I just think everyone who is going to play the lottery from our state is already going to one of our border states to do it. It no longer makes sense not to have one from a government standpoint.

I'm not totally opposed to people taking a day or two off during their mission trip to do some tourist-type stuff, but what you're describing is definitely a problem. It isn't completely unhelpful, but it seems to miss the point. I'm not going to go so far as to say we should stop trying to reach people in other countries, but churches who only attend to foreign missions and put nothing into missions locally are totally missing a missions opportunity. I think that has a lot to do with why church membership is declining. People just aren't even being told.

Absolutely.
