Folk religion is an attempt to bring a distant God into the lives of people. But God is not distant, if one approaches Him by faith through The Atonement, as a little child.

That's a really profound thought.

Now maybe you can explain why Catholics get so furious when faced by a Protestant whose "folk religion" is that the universe was created in six days less than six thousand years ago and why they feel the need to hit such people over the head with Darwin and Einstein.
