"The largest religion in the US is Christianity, practiced by the majority of the population (76% in 2008[4]). From those queried, roughly 51.3% of Americans are Protestants, 25% are Catholics, and 1.7% are Mormons (the name commonly used to refer to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), and 1.7% to various other Christian denominations.[16]"

And as the Pew study pointed out, those Protestants who self-identify as Evangelical are now the largest denomination, making up over 26% of the population of the U.S.

You are far too funny for this thread. I bring you a scientifically designed, performed and evaluated study by the CUNY, with complete open and aboveboard fact gathering and analysis, and you come back to me with Wiki and a flawed Pew report in which they didn't perform the study and have no data as to the methodology, oversight, fact gathering and analysis.

I suppose that back when you were in school, 3/4 of a century ago, that passed for facts in whatever unelectrified swamp you grew up in, but your presentations are not of rigourous scientific study and their conclusions are dubious at best and outright lies at worst.
