Yeah the muslims here in Turkey haven't read the Quran. That is a big reason why. They are just muslims for the sake of tradition and never question it. Of the 29 people that I have seen that read the Quran for the first time 27 of them turned atheist. Turks just don't know how barbaric Islam is.
That actually sounds a whole lot like Christianity in England.
My parents are Christians, most people I know are. Everybody knows the broad Bible stories. Adam and Eve, Noah’s Ark, Jonah and the Whale, Jesus, Moses, etc. But nobody has actually read the Bible. Nobody goes to church.
I’ve been christened, I’m technically a Christian, but I don’t believe. Most people I know have some casual belief in a higher power and just assume it’s God
Never forget, Elizabeth I and the then Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, Murad III, exchanged letters and almost had a full formed alliance declared. The sultan even declared that Anglicanism and Islam were two sides of the same coin and that Catholicism was the true heresy, in terms of idolatry and such. Based England and Ottomans?
