This is kinda interesting, but I'm not sure it really means anything.

Taken on its own, attending church is a "religious" tradition which has little to do with Christianity.

Now if Gallup were able, through some miraculous means, to get some statistics on *worship*, that'd be a different story.

Very good point. What strikes me is that less than half of people who are identifying themselves as belonging to a religion attend the church services of that religion. So apparently people consider something internal or individual to define them as Protestant or Catholic, not whether they follow the guidelines or dictates of their faith. Is one a Baptist, for example, if one does not go to a Baptist church regularly?
