I'm pretty certain that's true. I think it's more prevalent in America, but I think the worst (and most recent) was the creation myth being taught as science.

I'm confused by your statement (for non-obvious reasons), but that's more related to side topics.

Regarding the actual point of your post, things like the following image are pretty frustrating to me. I also am not going to just assume this is accurate, but given the statements made by our politicians and the beliefs of many people in my area of the country, I would say it would not be surprising if it was, without actually looking into it (in which I'd refine said assumption to whatever the data supports, as is the way of science).



I do find it curious that Australia is not on this list, which is one of the larger countries out there, and same with Canada and a few others. As I came across it independent of the source, I wonder what their reasoning for these specific countries is said to be? (A lot of times its "the top 15 economic countries" or such) It kind of leads one to believe that if its a top list then AUS and CAN would fall below Turkey in terms of belief, but without seeing evidence of such, I also have no reason to believe that.
