"Surprising"? Surprising to WHOM?

A poll by the Pew Forum found that Americans are "surprisingly" flexible About religion and faith.

Guess what... we're also "suprisingly flexible" about ethics... morality... truth...

A kind of new-agey rabbi is quoted in the ABC story as saying, "I do think that it's a level of maturity involved in being so secure in your own root tradition that you can dabble, that you can borrow and that you don't feel that it's in some way sacrificing your own identity."

Um, yeah, maturity, that's what it is.
