David Wharton at A Little Urbanity has this disheartening account about students in one of his classes at UNC-Greensboro:

Out of 20 students, all but 2 claimed to be Christian; the other two were somewhere between atheist and agnostic. But among the other 18, only about 4 held beliefs that bore much resemblance to orthodox Protestant or Catholic thought. Most of them believed that the Bible had been seriously altered or adulterated by wicked men sometime between Christ’s lifetime and ours. They also tended to describe God as a “force” that permeates the universe, and some had quite detailed ideas about how this divine Force operates: “Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us . . .”

In short, these young Christians had aquired most of their ideas about the Bible and theology from two sources: Dan Brown’s faux-theologico-historical pot-boiler The Da Vinci Code, and George Lucas’s Star Wars movies. Some of them acknowledged this openly, and said they were more inclined to be influenced by Brown’s book and George Lucas than by the New Testament.
