Do you think Christians are anti-intellectual?

One factor, I think, is a different attitude toward intellectualism. There has long been a strong undercurrent of anti-intellectualism in the US. Here, it’s seen as anti-populist and elitist. There’s a romantic reverence for folk wisdom deeply ingrained in the American mythos. When an intellectually challenging argument is put forth, many Americans tend to feel like they’re being sold a bill of goods by a bunch of fast-talkers. They’re more comfortable with the time-honored beliefs handed down through the generations.
