i don't know if this is what you mean, but for distortion, i know many of my friends believe that, because many ministers speak of God being righteously jealous and vengeful, that He is unfairly 'unkind'. I find its a big barrier to get around when trying to speak to my 'non-believing' friends... they distrot it and twist it until those words mean what they want them to.
They try to say the OT is obsolete, and I doubt about the Biblical Canon.
There was a time when people knew at least the figurative outline of the Bible. Now they don't. I think it's because they get generations of information from non-believers. I think the result is the same as the "phone game".
