For me, it’s the idea that some Christians believe that Jesus spoke English, or that the Bible was written in English.
Or that Jesus had a white skin
What kind of skin did He have anyway? The Jews I’ve seen (admittedly not many) were pretty light-skinned (though with dark hair).

I have an Egyptian coworker (immigration laws, yay) and I’d not call his skin color brown (as in “brown bear” brown). More like a rather well tanned local person. I’d have a hard time calling him non-white, unless in comparison with an Irish person or something…

In my view, the greatest, most profound, and most dangerous ignorance within the church is not the dumb things that people affirmatively believe (although there is plenty of that), but the ways that people in the church remain ignorant about the full breadth and depth of the Christian tradition, and about the harms that Christianity has wrought. Ignorance, for example, about how European colonizers and missionaries were instrumental not just in genocide and cultural imperialism, but also in the fundamental construction of pervasive modern categories like “race” and “religion.” Likewise, ignorance of the depth of the contemplative and mystical strands in Christianity have been extremely deleterious to individual Christians and to the church as an institution.
That the earth is 6,000 years old. That there is a dome above the earth, the firmament, that holds back the waters. That the stars are on the firmament. That there is a great wall of ice surrounding all the earth. That evolution is a lie started by Satan.
