I'm an atheist, but I don't like porn *that* much, lol. Clearly, many Christians like movies with non-Christian content.

I kind of think the taboo aspect of it makes porn all the more exciting... Once it's out in the open, sales actually decline a little.

Because most of the rest of the world aren't Christians and can buy from the American market if they wish. The porn industry in Japan is huge and they have no religious rules against it. 100 per cent of the American population doesn't make up that much of the worlds population. I don't see how you can actually gage the amount of money that a country spends on porn. If you are correct then the amount must be more than that as the figures couldn't calculate international orders unless they were declared. I guess I'll just go with your research though.....Which must mean that Americans are really perverted.

Forbes Magazine disputes those numbers and estimates that Porn is really a 2.6-3.9 Billion a year industry.
See the article here:

I would say that most Christians in the United States are not fundamentalists and therefore are more open to porn (or else they'd try harder to outlaw it).

To be truthful, I am a Christian and I am addicted to the stuff. I wish that I was not. It has really hurt my marriage. I believe that looking at porn is wrong, but it is hard with the internet in my house.

Not even close to 80% are Christians. It is probably much closer to less than 10% or less.
Just because someone steps into a garage does not make them a car anymore than someone who steps into a church makes them a Christian.
Jesus talked about how to become one of his followers in the gospels. When he spoke of faith and putting their trust in him, it was not a creedal faith but a dynamic living faith. Faith in the New Testamant is a verb and not a noun.

well shouldn't it be 80 billion by your statement? you only said it's 10. so that means a lot of christians are waking the walk and not just talking the talk.

There are a lot of rich non-Christians. I bet Bill Gates and Ted Turner and Ted Kennedy account for about 1 billion. There are way more churches then adult book stores and strip clubs. You never hear of a "mega-porn store."

There is alot of Christians who watch porn. Mostly everyone in the United States has a experience where they watched porn.

"If the US is 80% Christian, why is porn in the US a $10 Billion per year industry?"
I think the very question is self-explanatory.

Excellent question! Answer: The U.S. is only NOMINALLY Christian. Real Christian men don't just preach at you, but actually imitate Jesus by treating women with respect.
These men take seriously the Bible, which states that love "does not behave indecently," wrote Paul. "[It] does not look for its own interests." (1 Corinthians 13:5) The Bible exhorts men to 'love their wives as their own bodies' and to 'assign them honor,' not to view women as merely objects for sexual gratification. (Ephesians 5:28; 1 Peter 3:7).
It is telling that the Bible says that God will execute judgement on counterfeit 'Christians' who sully his name.
