We need a baseline to know where we are starting our prayer campaign to have the Great Commission fulfilled in the United States of America in reality (not just in name) on or by 31 December 2026. So, here we go:
However, according to a Pew Poll in 2007, it's 78.4% (See http://religions.pewforum.org/reports)
According to a Gallup Poll in 2009, it's 78%. (See http://www.gallup.com/poll/124793/This-Christmas-78-Americans-Identify-Christian.aspx )
These percentages are of Roman Catholics and Protestants.
The question, though... Is are they really Christians, and have declared Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, or are they Christian in name only? also, are they actively following Christ and living the Word today?
Either way, that means 22% of Americans are definitely NOT Christian--in name or in reality as of 2009.
Then, there is this link, which is an interesting read: http://www.quora.com/How-many-Christians-are-in-the-United-States --which says only 16% are really Christians.
Take a look at this link as well from The Barna Group: http://www.barna.org/barna-update/article/13-culture/268-casual-christians-and-the-future-of-america
