I completely agree that having catechism’s are very helpfull, my church is an Indepedent/Reformed Baptist Church, and everyweek we post the Shorter Catechism in our bullitton in order of the questions, basically each week we go in order of the whole catechism of each question. We don’t do them with Sunday school, but our pastor encourages us to read them and study at home. I save them and I always refer back to them. What I find amazing is that the Shorter Catechism was designed for young children, and as I study it today with my ongoing learning of theology, it is very challenging and I’m sure the average believer can’t anwer these question. Overall I believe catechisms are not “boring,dull, and mundane”, our Lord is not “boring” as some think, He is and awsome God!! and are only Savior!!

Has anyone done any research into where people say they get their religions ideas and instruction, vs. where they actually do?
I suspect for most that I’m personally acquainted with most content comes from Christian radio. Around here that’s quite a mixed bag. (John MacArthur one half hour, some Word-Faith guy the next, and no one airs Dr. Sproul or WHI.)
