Truth is not determined by majority rule, so it's not relevant.

Surveys show that about 80 percent of Americans identify as Christian and 5 percent as some other faith. And beyond self-identification,a 2002 poll showed that 67 percent of all people in the poll agreed that the United States is a "Christian nation"; 48 percent said they believed that the United States has "special protection from God"; 58 percent said that America's strength is based on religious faith; and 47 percent asserted that a belief in God is necessary to be moral.

It's about 5% atheist, and something like 82% Christian, according to the latest Time Magazine.

Good luck getting a true statistic on that. I wouldn't believe what I was told on here.
