Any one have any good sources the Born Again/Evangelical Christian population in America?

Question

I'm compiling a list of sources. it should be between 55 - 130 million. But I've heard 80 and 100 million, too.

Answer 1

FROM : http://www.wheaton.edu/isae/defining_evangelicalism.html


"Since 1976 the Gallup organization has been asking roughly 1,000 adults the question "Would you describe yourself as a 'born-again' or evangelical Christian?" In that first survey 34% of the people being surveyed responded "yes." Over the years, the number has fluctuated dramatically, reaching a low of 33% in 1987 and 1988 during the televangelist scandals, and a high of 47% in 1998."

Answer 2

I think that would be hard to accurately gage no matter what source you have so it would only be good within a certain percentage. Even the US Census doesn't ask that - it just asks for religion, for christianity denomination and other categories for people who aren't religious. Since Evangelicals can come in any denomination (my brother is one and he is presbyterian) then you couldn't get a completely accurate count.

Answer 3

About 2% of the population in reality.

Answer 4

I think wikipedia has a page with the combined populations of Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, and South Carolina.

That should get you pretty close.

Answer 5

Much less than that are true Born Again Christians.

Answer 6

I know one thing. It is far to many and the population numbers that exist now are scary.

Answer 7

Not sure what you mean. I list of resources, like a yellow pages?

Answer 8

5% of those who claim they are.

Answer 9

Too many.

Answer 10

Way too many!
