Christianity takes the lead, with 76.5% of the US population, followed by distant second nonreligious/secular with 13.2%. Rounding out the top three is Judaism, with 1.3%.
Are you surprised? I kind of am. I expected Christianity to be #1, but I expected a little more balance. Apparently they are only 33% of the total world population, so the US must look very different from most other countries...

Christianity, somewhere between 76% and 82%
And for the record:
"Christianity. Note that in the NSRI and ARIS studies, based on self-identification, Christianity includes: Catholic, Baptist, Protestant, Methodist/Wesleyan, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Pentecostal/Charismatic, Episcopalian/Anglican, Mormon/Latter-day Saints/LDS, Churches of Christ, Jehovah's Witness, Seventh-Day Adventist, Assemblies of God, Holiness/Holy, Congregational/United Church of Christ, Church of the Nazarine, Church of God, Eastern Orthodox, Evangelical, Mennonite, Christian Science, Church of the Brethren, Born Again, Nondenominational Christians, Disciples of Christ, Reformed/Dutch Reformed, Apostolic/New Apostolic, Quaker, Full Gospel, Christian Reform, Foursquare Gospel, Fundamentalist, Salvation Army, Independent Christian Church, Covenant Church, Jewish Christians, plus 240,000 adults classified as "other" (who did not fall into the preceding groups)."
Wow. They didn't leave anyone out, did they?

probably none.
most people do not believe anything that is taught in a church or temple. christian is most likely the number one practiced religion, but the most common belief would be personal, a collective collaboration of life-lessons, and religious slices that hit home for each person individually.
we are very diverse people, and religion is something that makes us who we are.
