While the balance between Protestants and Catholics
shifted over the years, the proportion of Americans
identifying themselves as Christian has remained
relatively constant. In three surveys between 1989 and
1996, 84% to 88% of Americans said they were
Christians. The proportion of Christians in America
rivals or exceeds the proportion of Jews in Israel, of
Muslims in Egypt, of Hindus in India, and of Orthodox
believers in Russia.
I think this is important to note for Indians and reflect on their own country
and how it will look and feel in future
