CONFRONTING EVANGELICAL STEREOTYPES

A report on CNN about the work of the Boston University Institute of Culture's study on the stereotype of evangelicals as uneducated hayseeds.

For decades, Boston University sociologist Peter Berger says, American intellectuals have looked down on evangelicals.

Educated people have the notion that evangelicals are "barefoot people of Tobacco Road who, I don't know, sleep with their sisters or something," Berger says.

It's time that attitude changed, he says.
