indifferent ignorance 

A state of near-total ignorance, especially regarding subjects concerning racism, politics, sexism or homophobia. Often a person suffering from indifferent ignorance is vaguely aware that they have not researched or considered their opinions, but they are not inclined to research or consider them.

A large amount of indifferent ignorance stems from the tabloid press, party political propaganda and agreeing with the views of the people by whom you were raised.
"This gentleman just waved 'The Daily Mail' in my face and told me that the EU is taking British jobs. Is that indifferent ignorance or what?"
Stephanie: "We don't need feminism in today's society!"
Jasmine: "That's quite a big expression of indifferent ignorance."

ignorance is bliss 

The lack of knowledge in reference to a situation, particularly a messy one. Once the whole truth is revealed one realizes they were much happier being clueless.

Ana was desperately in love with her long-distance boyfriend Aaron... until she found out he cheated on her multiple times.

Sadly her heart was broken, with no hopes of repair and she realized "ignorance is bliss."

Ignorati 

Wealthy, elite, and painfully ignorant college students of America. Typically members of a Fraternity or Sorority, often at one of the Ivy League schools. They are usually unaware of their own privelege, nor do they have empathy for the misfortune of others. In fact, they refuse to acknowledge or take responsibility for causing anyone's problems in the world. They are usually Republicans, but there are plenty of Democrats who qualify for the title as well. See also: vapid, preppie, snobs, evangelicals.
The Ignorati were having a party at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house, where they gathered to watch the latest Dane Cook video on their 60" plasma TV(s).

I got into an argument with this Ignorati. He was claiming Blondie invented Rap music.

Religious ignorance 

Someone who only has knowledge of their own religion (usually a form of Christianity) rather than the major ones: Islam, Jewism, Hinduism, Confucianism, Buddhism. Also: someone who has their eyes blinded to truth by religious ignorance (ie: dinosaurs could not have existed - they are not in the Bible)
Religious ignorance usually is concentrated in churches - how ironic.

Ignorance 

The source of the vast majority of passionately held opinions.
I hate Muslims because they are all terrorists, Republicans because they are all religious warmongering rich men bent on world domination, and anyone with a brain agrees with me on most matters of any consequence (a verbal demonstration of ignorance).
