This simple-minded chart belies the fact that the only real majority in the US is a secular one that tries to avoid discussing religion (or non-religion) at all costs in favor of a do-whatever-you-want attitude. Great swaths of those identifying as Christian are functionally secular, and practicing Christians are a minority.

According to polls a majority of Americans go to church at least once a month, so that depends on how you define "practicing Christian" I guess. It doesn't show that people who aren't purely nominal Christians aren't a minority obviously.

The only other thing worth pointing out is the First Amendment obviously protects one's right to ridicule other people's beliefs just as it protects the right to hold those beliefs. So mocking people for their view on something does not violate the First Amendment. Trying to prohibit this mocking would.

It would be much better if those people practiced it a bit more than an hour a week or month. Although the way some people express their faith, maybe not.
Keystone Phil nice thoughtful post.
Bushie, take a lap.

No, go jog and then knock out 20 push ups. Every bad post you make, repeat. Hey if you insist on wasting your day away here you might as well get some exercise out of it.
