*Any* Jew knows more about Judaism than *any* Christian?  Quite a
statement, and, I think, untrue, for I have met Jews who knew a
*lot* less about their own religion than I do.  (However, in the
main, of course, Yiri's statement is accurate - most Christians
know very little about Judaism.  It's a shame.  I don't know all
*that* much, but what I do know I have a great appreciation for.)
