A New Poll Has Some Heartening News For Christians In America

From “Chicks on the Right”

Written by  Miss CJ

This is wonderful to hear on Good Friday!

Contrary to what you may have been hearing in the news lately, there is still a good majority of Americans that believe in the main tenets of Christianity.

A new poll conducted by Rasmussen has the breakdown -

Two-out-of-three Americans still believe the central tenets of Christianity, that Jesus Christ was the son of God who was resurrected on Easter Day.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 78% of American Adults believe the person known to history as Jesus Christ actually walked the earth about 2,000 years ago. Eleven percent (11%) do not believe that’s true, and another 11% are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Sixty-seven percent (67%) believe Jesus was the son of God who came to earth to die for our sins. Nineteen percent (19%) don’t share that belief. Fourteen percent (14%) are undecided.

Sixty-six percent (66%) of Americans believe that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. Twenty-one percent (21%) do not. Thirteen percent (13%) are not sure.

I don't know about anyone else, but I have been feeling a little discouraged that my religious beliefs aren't welcome in America or that my fellow Christians have been scared into silence by a handful of liberal bullies. But this is awesome to see that, yes, America is still a Christian nation, despite all attempts to change that.

Hope you all have a lovely Easter!
