Spreading ignorance

There is nothing truer than the fact that half-baked knowledge is worse than ignorance. This is what some of our religious scholars are spreading these days through many a pulpit. Many unsuspecting children are fed outright fallacies in the name of religious studies and history. This is also owed to the fact that this discipline is neglected in the academic world and it is thought to be a non-discipline like the rest of the humanities. This attitude has to change if we want to purge our society of the malaise that it is afflicted with. Many scholars of the discipline are indeed contributing much to society. They need people to join them.
