Plus, I bet one could produce a statistic in which at least 48% of "Canadians" think the capital of Australia is Sydney. Its a meaningless stat, but if someone with an agenda of boosting education was able to get that result, they might try to run with it to prove their point.

It's also worth mentioning that the U.S. is the Mecca for protestant evangelism. While 48% is a large number, I would expect that when looking at Judeo-Christian Western Civilization as a whole, that is probably the highest number you'd see anywhere. Do this same survey in most predominantly Christian countries, and I would bet the numbers would be much less.
