What is the main religion in the United States of America? Muslim, Christians, Roman Catholic?

Question

I have heard all different things from people and I am confused of which one. Or do all three have a dominant cause in the USA. You whould help me greatly if you answered this question very seriously and not messing around. I am searching for truth not lies

Answer 1

From Wikipedia:
Numbers in 2001:
Roman Catholics: 25.8%
Other Christians: 54.0
Other Religions: 5.2
No Religion 15%

Roman Catholics identify as Christian so bump the total percentage to 79.8% for total of Christians of many various denominations.

Good thing the only time majority rules in this country is in the voting booth (presumably lol).

Answer 2

Ok, the COMBINED Protestant faith represents about 64-70% of America, this includes Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists and Branch Dividians.

The SINGLE most unified religion in America is Roman Catholic with about 20-25% of the total population.


The NEXT SINGLE must UNIFIED religion is the Methdists with about 15%

Next SINGLE most unified religion is Prebyterian with 10%

HOWEVER the BAPTISTS, which are NOT UNIFIED and QUITE disorganized into Black Baptists, Northern Batptist and Southern White Baptists, Make up about 20-30% of America

So, Baptists, Methodists, Presbeterians, Seventh Day Adventists, Mormons, etc. COMBINED make up 60-70% of America and Catholics make up 25% and Jews make up like 2% and Muslims make up like 1% and Atheists/Agnostics make up like 1%

This is BASED on what PEOPLE CLAIM to be in US census reports and is based on the 2000 Census probably.

Answer 3

Christianity is still the dominant religion in the USA

Answer 4

According to The CIA World Factbook, the breakdown is something like this:

Protestant 52%, Roman Catholic 24%, Mormon 2%, Jewish 1%, Muslim 1%, other 10%, none 10%

Hope that helped...

Answer 5

How did "Muslim" get in there?

Actually, it would be real cool if Islam was one of the main religions in the United States. I think there are many good, law-abiding, honest, loyal and trustworthy Americans living in the US, but it's a shame they don't realize how Islam can be very compatible with their daily lives and beliefs...

There are 8 million Muslims in North America. 7 million in the US and 1 million in Canada. That would make them more than 2% of the population.

Answer 6

Christianity (roughly 76% of population, with about half of those being Protestant and 25% Catholic).

Answer 7

First of all, Catholics are also considered Christian. The nation of Islam is growing rapidly, but still follows Christianity.

Answer 8

Christians Jews and Catholics are the main religions in the U.S

Answer 9

Roman Catholic is the same thing as chrisianity.

Answer 10

I would say predominately Christan. I don't partake in that religion and think differently at being Buddhist because almost nobody is that religion here.
