I refuse to believe it's really that high.

I want to belive it's how the question and answers were phrased, and what they think of as 'Christian'

And TFA does dig into that thankfully

"would you rather the US be a Christian nation, or sign up to kick puppies and kittens on video?"

"Have you ever tried sugar or PCP?"

Omg, what is this from? It’s on the tip of my tongue, but I can’t quite get it.

Edit: I googled it, I knew it was Mitch Hedberg. How did it not click?

Because his delivery was everything.

Shoot.... Do I have time to think this one over?

I believe in the article it says "DONT KNOW" answers were not included in the infographics.

If the stats were 25% THEOCRACY 50% DONT KNOW 25% NOT THEOCRACY, thats a much different article, innit?

If you read the article, it's actually a fairly nuanced look at how a "Christian Nation" means very different things to different people. Most people who say they want it have relatively benign thoughts about what it means.

I'm just saying that the article doesn't say nearly half of Americans want a theocracy.

[-] neuropean@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago

60-80% of Americans still identify as Christian from a quick google search. The percentages are lower in young generations, but still very much in the range that this is a plausible number.

denial is a helluva opiate
