The US percentage is only about eight percent. I wonder why there is such a difference.

Most people in the U.S. claim to be "Christians" but you really don't know if everyone is or not.

Yes, I know. Approximately 92% of Americans say they believe in God (not all necessarily Christians). Considering that it is the cultural norm, I figure a large portion of those just take it for granted, and don't bother to think about it much.

Hence low church attendance, common acceptance of filth in the media, and all the things that make our nation appear more secular.

Sadly it is close to becoming illegal in Canada to share your faith.

If one shares the gospel with homosexuals you can be jailed for hate speech. Sad but true.

It's a bit sad, isn't it? I wonder if someone will make a poll about true Christians or not?

Hate speech? How is sharing the gospel "hate"? Now, I can understand if someone was harassing you with it...but just sharing is not hate. Goodness, we should have "rights" for ourselves when people decide to "share" their ideas with us, too!
