Gallup: Only 5% of Religious Americans Are Non-Christians
CNS News ^ | December 30, 2013 | Barbara Hollingsworth

A recent Gallup poll refutes the claim made by Barack Obama on March 9, 2008 that “we are no longer a Christian nation.”

Gallup found that three quarters of all Americans - a supermajority - identify themselves as Christians, with only five percent saying they are practicing members of a non-Christian faith.

“We find, looking at our data, that America does in fact remain a predominantly Christian nation,” Dr. Frank Newport, Gallup’s editor in chief, said of the poll released on Christmas Eve.

“Now, our overall estimation of what percent of Americans identify with the Christian religion depends a little on which of our various polls we look at, but I would estimate that about three-quarters – 75, maybe up to 77 percent of Americans - identify with the Christian religion.

Since when does anyone believe anything our Muslim president has to say about Christians? Thank you, Gallup, for at least countering this attack on the Christians in our country. The churches are quiet as mice on the subject, because apparently courage was buried with Martin Luther in 1546.

Obama wants newspapers to stop printing poll results.

Without honest polls democrat operatives can send out their fake letters to idiot congress critters knowing they'll foolishly think the letters represent citizens.

Without this Gallup poll that tells the truth about Christians - democrats would follow Obama's lie up with more lies until it started feeling like this wasn't a Christian nation.

We can fight the coming police state - we can beat it.

Taking that "turn the other cheek" deal a little to far, eh?

I’m surprised. We have a number of Buddhists, hindus and muslims and Jews in our area. But maybe that brings our number up to 15% or 20%, and other places have zero%.

AND it would ruin GOPs desire to give Texas over to the dems by legalizing all the invaders and permanently giving the GOP leisure class or minority status.

And Islam isn’t a religion — it is medieval fascism, and the koran is a medieval Mein Kampf.
