Even here in Korea many Christians are ill-informed about Buddhism,
Confucianism, and Korea's shamanic traditions. And what is even more
surprising, all too many (I would guess, most, actually, but I don't have
hard statistics to back this up) are not well-informed about Christian
doctrine or church history, either.
