Even the monkey-worshipers in the sick-ular scientific establishment now acknowledge what we True Christians™ have long known, namely, that children raised in liberal false religions have difficulty distinguishing truth from fiction.
Lie-beral "news" source:
Neither the article nor the study itself mentions children from True Christian™ homes. Instead, the focus seems to be on children in parochial (read: Catholic) schools or other schools run by liberal false religions. The difference is that whereas other people teach their children ridiculous just-so stories, we teach our children God's truths as contained in the Holy King James Bible.

Study Says Religious Kids Are Easier to Fool
Research suggests that children raised in religious households have trouble distinguishing fact from fiction
In the first study, published in the journal Cognitive Science, researchers gathered 66 5- and 6-year-olds and read them a series of stories characterized as realistic, religious and fantastical. They were then tasked with determining which of the characters were real and which were make-believe. When asked about stories featuring realistic figures, religious children answered correctly at a nearly the same rate as the secular group (in fact, they scored 85 percent, and the nonreligious got 83). But the responses were dramatically different when it came to the other two categories. With religious stories, the children who attended church or parochial school believed the protagonist to be real 79 percent of the time, while only 6 percent of the nonreligious children concurred. The same pattern held true for stories featuring characters with magical powers: The religious children were more likely to give them the benefit of the doubt at 41 percent, compared with just 13 percent of the secular subjects. The results of the second study reinforced the findings of the first.
Study author Kathleen Corriveau explains that the phenomenon occurs because religious stories often include miracles that require faith, rather than logic, to accept as real. This suspension of disbelief may then be applied when children encounter fantastical events outside of the context of religion. Though she stresses that this needn’t be seen as strictly negative.
