Christians: Do you know we out number all other religions?

We have 175,000,000 adult Christians in the U S A, 34,000,000 agnostic, atheists and other non religious groups. The smallest percentage being atheists. This is counting adults only.

Update:

The question was directed to Christians. I must have offended some people, sorry about that.

    AMEN! This is wonderful to hear first thing in the morning. Keep pressing on in the battle, keep loving them.

    1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man does not welcome what comes from God's spirit it is foolishness to him; he is not able to know it since it is evaluated spiritually.

    I read this yesterday, a little bit of an explanation why they act so much like children on here. But for being "atheists" they sure do enjoy discussing our perfect love and Savior. Be it good or bad Bringing him up gives us a chance to show them his Love. So let's get ready:)

    Ahhh......calling yourself a Christian and living a life in total submission to Jesus and serving God's will are quite different. I say this because I recently went back to school. I attend a Bible college in the midwest. Jesus himself is quoted many times in the Bible identifying His followers as those who do the will of the Father. I'm not trying to be negative, however, I know you'd be surprised and amazed regarding the facts. Here's an interesting one. 57% of Christians....that's 57% of the 175,000,000 you quoted believe that there is more than one way to the Father other than through Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross. This is the foundation of Christianity. If over half feel His work was in vain, how can they call themselves Christians?

    Argument from Popularity (formally, argumentum ad populam) is an informal logical fallacy where an individual claims that a proposition is true because it is or has been widely believed. In its most general form, the argument is generally presented as follows.

    (Position) is believed by millions of people worldwide!

    Therefore, (Position) must be correct!

    It is a fallacy because millions or billions of people can still believe in something that is wrong.

    We may have the numbers, but we are probably also the most un-united religion. We have hundreds of different variations that exist solely because someone didn't like somebody else's rules. Basically: We need to get our **** together.

    I guess you aren't one of the many Christians I see who deny that Catholics, Mormons, Episcopalians, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Unitarians are Christians as these are included to produce a Christian majority.

    Yeah? But underneath the skin we're all Human and children of God so should you be proud? or should you be working to better your neighbors life and inform people about what you know about Love?

    Religion means nothing without belief and application.

    I assume that you are including followers of the teachings of Jesus in the smaller group.

    Christians: Do you know that just because you have the majority does not mean you are right?
