when i hear this country is a christian nation. According to this survey, 48% of people seldom or never attend service. 12% say once a month. Sorry, but that doesn't show we are a christian nation at all, much less a religious one. I've always said a lot of people claim to be religious because they think they are supposed to be or are uncomfortable with being considered atheist.
