If this poll is accurate, the decline in those identifying as Christian is alarming.

Gallup: 69% of Americans Identify as Christian

Based on two 2021 polls, Gallup found that nearly 75% of Americans identify with a specific religious faith, including 69% who identify as Christian.

However, that percentage has declined from 90% who identified as Christian in 1971, some 50 years ago. In addition, formal church membership has declined since the 1970s, as well, and it has "largely been driven by younger generations of Americans," reported Gallup.

"About one in three U.S. young adults have no religious affiliation," according to the survey firm.

For the 69% of Americans who identify as Christian, 35% are Protestant, 22% Catholic, and 12% "identify with another Christian religion or simply as a 'Christian,'" reported Gallup. ..................

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
