What percentage of Christians THAT YOU KNOW PERSONALLY do you believe truly practice Christianity?

Oh, and I have to say that I believe it's probably about 10%.

Update:

Please list the percentage first and any mindless drivel afterward. LOL. Seriously, I am just VERY curious for EVERYONE to give me the percentage they believe it to be, and I hope you'll all be honest and truthful in your response. If you don't know any Christians, don't put 0%.

    I'd say around 10 percent as well. This is based on an independent study done by a polling agency. The results might shock most american christians. It found that american christians know the least about their own religion. 30 percent of those asked thought that Joan of Arc was Noah's wife, etc. So I stick by my answer.

    0%. I say this becaus I know many Christians. Some even go to church every sundy and participate in all things church. But NO ONE lives by the word of God. It's practically impossible in the modern world.

    Between 10 and 25%.

    Many people are of the "me, too" mentality when it comes to Christianity. Many are even April/December Christians (Easter and Christmas)

    There are even those who will consider you a "False Christian" if you dare disagree with them.

    Whats your definition of "truly practicing"?

    I would venture 5% tops.

    Sadly I know some non Christians that display more Christian behavior than those who attend church and proclaim themselves Christian. Its one of the biggest turns offs to Christianity for me personally.

    100% make a serious attempt MOST of the time, otherwise they would not be Christians. Since we are all sinners you could say nobody, including myself, is sinless (always practicing Christianity) 100% of the time.

    I don't know very many people who would claim to be Christian (I am European and university educated).

    Of the few I do know, I would guess about 80% practise what they preach.

    There are true Christians and they are Jehovah's Witnesses. Visit www.watchtower.org and have one come to your house and give you the bible teach book. It speaks of nothing but bible truths. It will change your life! Start a bible study with them and you will see the difference. (its free!)
