Also, on this Easter, note the results of Gallup's new poll showing a strong majority of Americans identifying as Christian:
Easter is a Christian celebration, and a review of Gallup polling continues to reveal a nation that remains strongly Christian in its religious orientation.The poll also indicates that nearly two-thirds of Americans planned on attending Easter services this weekend.
Gallup data show that 79% of Americans currently identify as Christian -- either Protestant, Roman Catholic, or some other Christian religion.
Given that about 14% of Americans in Gallup's surveys either say they have no religion or refuse to answer, the proportion of Americans who identify themselves with a particular Christian religion rises to about 92%.
This is great news, especially coming as it does when the country's been dragged through a devilishly horrendous round of America-bashing in the images of black liberation from the sermons of Jeremiah Wright.
Here's to wishing all of my readers a peacefully wonderful Easter holiday.
