A lot of what you have said is very true, but it is important to take into account that these statistics also include those individuals who claim to be evanglical Christian's, but truly are not.
Though it's quite unfortunate that commericalism rules the day during a time when we should be recognizing what is truly important, I do enjoy the Christmas season. And our family celebrates it in such a way that we honor Christ, not the materials.
FYI, for future reference, it is not good for anyone called a Christian:
Baptists - 29%
Non-denominational - 34%
Catholics and Lutherans - 21%
Mainstream Protestant - 25%
"Born-again" - 27%
Mormon - 24%
Jewish - 30%
Atheists and Agnostics - 21%
Living in:
Northwest - 19%
Midwest and South - 27%
West - 26%
By Race:
White - 27%
African-American - 22%
Hispanic - 20%
Asian - 8%
I hate to say it, but I doubt any Christians threw their vote into the "Agnostic" category to help bring their numbers down.
I fear from the numbers that it appears unlikely the number of rogues making a specific denomination look bad are few.
We Christians have only ourselves to blame.
But since God forgives, divorce and adultery are okay in the end. Besides, a loving God wants us to be happy, doesn't He?
