Update 02/17/09--94.8% are Putative Christians
The following
alleged “rebuttal” of the poll at
http://christianparty.net/pollblacks.htm was offered up by Greg
Pulenskey:
"polling data provided by more
reputable sources in regards to the religious leanings of our country.
http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/tables/09s0074.pdf
"I do not have the time, nor inclination, to research and dispute each of his
ridiculous claims, and although I would like to continue to beat the ignorant
about the head and shoulders, I have a large project that starts tomorrow and
work comes before entertainment. I leave the task in the able hands of
Faith, Eve, Virginia, Marc and Douglas. I'll see you guys in a couple
weeks!"
The first
thing we must note about these supposedly “more reputable sources” is that
virtually all our Founding Fathers, particularly Mr. Jefferson and Benjamin
Franklin and Stonewall Jackson, most REAL Christians and Israelite researchers
today like Willie Martin, Pastor Eli, Harrell, Arnold Murray, Wesley Swift,
Bertrand Comparet, Armstrong, etc., are all lumped into the same 16.1% category
as “atheist” and “agnostic”, the first sign of their immense bias and bigotry.
Also, only a person with a huge lack of understanding of polls and polling techniques
would refer to the United States Census Bureau as “more reputable sources in
regards to the religion leanings of our country” relative to ANY other poll.
He would have to be so ignorant as to not comprehend that other polls [even the
discredited jew-controlled Gallup “poll”] show that only 1% are “atheist” and
“agnostic”, and that the remaining 15.1% are the most important REAL Christians
the industrialized world and this putative Christian nation have ever known.
Catholics, By Their Own Amoral Standards, Cannot Stand Amongst
Christians
Also, the
1.7% who are Mormons, the 0.7% who are Jehovah’s Witnesses, the 0.7% who are
“Unitarians and other liberal faiths”, and the 0.6% who are Orthodox Catholics,
are MUCH, MUCH closer to the Word of God, and thus to their Israelite heritage
[REAL Israelites], than any single one of the 23.9% who the Catholic Church
CLAIMS are Catholics. While Catholics CLAIM to be Christians, any person
who would dare utter the phrase “hail Mary, full of grace” cannot possibly be
counted as our Israelite brethren no matter how “Christian” they perceive
themselves to be. We will for the sake of argument count them as
“Christians” even though it's now clear that their continued presence on our
shores is even more damaging to our delicate social fabric than jews themselves.
Another proof
of the bias of this “poll” is that they count all 5.1 million jews as a
“religion” when 65-80% of jews themselves claim to be “atheists” and
“agnostics”, which would leave less than 1.8 million “religious jews”.
It’s also likely that the majority of the 1% of the US population who claim to
be atheists or agnostics have jew heritage, so they too ought to be included in
a separate category which includes all “non-religious jews”.
Furthermore,
for anyone who’s ever entered a Black church, counting any one of the 36 million
Blacks in this country as “Christians” is devious at best, blasphemous of the Word
of God at worst, so they too ought to at least be counted as a separate category
just as the category “New Age” is. This is not beyond the capability of
this monstrous bureaucracy which is able to tell us exactly how many t
It’s not
exactly clear which of our “ridiculous
claims” this MORON “thinks”
he’s managed to “research and dispute”,
but if it’s the statement that 93% of Americans are putative Christians, we will
concede that this data, combined with REPUTABLE DATA from unbiased and
non-bigoted sources, indicates that the actual figure is 94.1%. In
addition to that, most members of this “New Age religion” are pure Israelites
who have been DECIEVED by the jewsmedia programming as indicated by this “polling
data provided by more reputable sources”.
They could in fact be counted as Israelite BRETHREN which Scripture tells us is
far, far more important to God than being a “Christian”, particularly one who’s
lumped in with anti-Christs like the Catholics we’ve run into on this forum.
This would put us at 94.8%, rather than 94.1% or the 93% previously quoted
Christians
= 94.1%
Protestants =
51.3%
REAL Christians
= 15.1%
REAL Israelites
= 3.8%
Catholics =
23.9%
Non-Christians = 5.9%
Jews = 1.7%
Buddhists = 0.7%
Muslim = 0.6%
Hindu = 0.4%
New Age = 0.7%
Atheist/agnostic
= 1%
Don’t know =
0.8%
What exactly
DID Pulenskey “research and dispute”? Does he REALLY “think” that a “poll”
of “35,556 adults living in the Continental United States” conducted by the US
Census Bureau which is FULL of niggers, is somehow less “biased” or “bigoted”
than our RANDOM INTERNET poll of MORE THAN TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND? Perhaps
when this edomite returns from his “large
project that starts tomorrow”
he will deign to fill us in on exactly why he “thinks” a NON-RANDOM poll of
“35,556 adults” somehow “disputes” our RANDOM POLL OF MORE THAN 200,000??!!
And maybe this jew genius will even tell us what he “thinks” is the difference in the standard error.

95.1% Reject Churchianity, not Christianity
A more detailed analysis of the putative “polling data provided by more reputable sources” lovingly referred to as the “United States Census Bureau”, which spends billions of dollars annually to figure out how many toothbrushes are in each bathroom, how many TVs and phones in EACH home, and how many fillings in EACH tooth—but still can’t figure out the difference between “religion”, “jew”, “race”, NOR tell us exactly how many filthy edomite sodomite kikes there are in our midst, proves that "Christians" are actually 95.1% of the American population.
While
claiming that the “religion” they refer to as “jews” is 1.7% of the population,
they ignore that jews themselves have claimed, from time to time, that the real
figure is 2.1%, BUT that 75% are “atheists or agnostics”. However, this
group of primarily sodomites who claim to be “g-d’s chosen race”, who know
with 100% certainty that exactly 41% of the world’s supply of jews was “holocausted”
in WWII, in this day and age of computers and the internet, STILL can’t agree on
just how many of these miserable creatures remain in the world.
In 1998, they
proudly announced that there were 18.1 million jews.
Then in 2001,
they equally as proudly announced that there were only 13 million.
Note how
silent they were about this “holocaust of six [sic] million jews” in such *recent*
memory, while concurrently pounding us endlessly about some supposed 6 million
jews killed by our ENEMIES more than half a century ago in a war that WE won. Note that a 28%
plunge in a population group is impossible without some MAJOR disease or famine,
and the ONLY explanation is God’s genetically tailored disease called
AIDS which
attacked only fudge packing jews [hallelujah!]
Another
problem of course is that jews themselves are too STUPID to know what a jew is:
"As a consequence of the interest
aroused by the Shalit case, a public opinion poll was held on the question.
Fifteen hundred Jewish families were canvassed with the following results:
"12% declared that a Jew is a
person whose father or mother is Jewish or who has a Jewish spouse.
"23% claimed that a Jew is a person
who considers himself a Jew.
"19% held that a man born to a
Jewish mother or who converts to Judaism is a Jew.
"13% said a Jew is one who lives in
Israel or who identifies with the Jewish state.
"13% stated that a Jew is one who
observes the Jewish religious practices.
"11% answered that a Jew is one who
is raised and educated as a Jew.
"9% said they could not define it.
"These results were recorded in the
Jerusalem Post of November 25, 1968. More could be said and other examples could
be given to show the confusion in the Jewish world over definitions. But these
should suffice to show that there is no uniformity or objective standard for
defining Jewishness; virtually all definitions are subjective.
If you’re a
jew, but you don’t know what a jew is, and someone asks you about your
“religion”, might you say “agnostic” or “atheist”? The simple fact that
jews themselves claim that 75% of jews claim to be agnostics or atheists gives
us a clue. The following breath taking admission from this “watchdog
organization” of jews fills in the missing gaps:
"The study's credibility became an issue last October after part of its findings on population was released and then withdrawn because some field data were not factored into the 5.2-million population estimate. At the same time, another study by a San Francisco-based group — using a broader definition of who was Jewish — placed the population at 6.7 million. But after reevaluating its methodology and findings, UJC said Wednesday that it stood by the 5.2-million figure."
5.2 million
is 1.7% of the population, but this includes ALL jews, even the “atheists” and
“agnostics”. ALL jews I know are in this category, which means that most
of the 1% who are atheists or agnostics are NOT jews. Many of the
“atheists” and “agnostics” who I’ve spoken to who are NOT jews [who ARE my
brethren, contrary to kikes like Pulenskey] have simply rejected churchianity,
and *not* “Christianity”. Most have been deceived by a century’s
worth of jew control of all our communications and are literally in shock and
denial when
they hear what SCRIPTURE actually says. Therefore, I believe the following
RECALCULATION is necessary, AND far more valid than simply accepting carte
blanche “polling data provided by more
reputable sources” like the
Census Bureau:
Christians =
95.1%
Protestants = 51.3%
REAL Christians = 15.1%
REAL Israelites = 4.8%
Catholics = 23.9%
Non-Christians = 4.9%
Jews = 1.7%
Buddhists = 0.7%
Muslim = 0.6%
Hindu = 0.4%
New Age = 0.7%
Atheist/agnostic = 0%
Don't know = 0.8%
The reason for adding “atheists” and “agnostics” who are my ISRAELITE RACIAL BRETHREN to the category “REAL Israelites” rather than to “REAL Christians” is that NO MATTER what their “religious beliefs” are—they will always be light years ahead of “Catholics” in every aspect of human life no matter how successful this “church” is at persecuting them, no matter how long it continues.
Who in the U.S. are NOT Christians
As of today, June 29, 2008, the population of the US is 304,468,991 of which 7% or 21,312,000 claim NOT to be Christians:
-
5,120,000 = jew
-
2,695,000 = black Muslim
-
7,300,000 = Arab, Iranian
-
3,045,000 = atheist, agnostic
-
3,152,000 = Indian
The LAW for the 283,156,991 of us who DO claim to be "Christians" CANNOT ever change, and it is the following:
But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person, 1 Corinthians 5:13"Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor", Leviticus 19:15
"Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it", Deuteronomy 1:17
"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?" 2 Corinthians 6:14
"Now we command you, brethren, on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us", 2 Thessalonians 3:6
How are we to "withdraw [our]selves"? How do we "put away" the wicked and the non-believer? How do we remove those we are "unequally yoked together" with? WHO will do this? Certainly not the 5 million jews, 2 1/2 million black Muslims, 7 million Arabs or Iranians, 3 million atheists, nor 3 million Indians, because it is THEY who must be removed. Certainly not most of the 54 million Catholics, because they are Hispanics who also must be removed:
| NON-Christians | 21,312,000 |
| jew | 5,120,000 |
| black Muslim | 2,695,000 |
| Arab, Iranian | 7,300,000 |
| Atheist, agnostic | 3,045,000 |
| Indian | 3,152,000 |
| Catholic | 54,804,418 |
| Protestant | 228,352,573 |
Sodomy & women "preachers"
Because so many Protestant denominations have ordained women and homosexuals as "priests", "pastors", and other leaders in the church, the only Godly thing for a Protestant to do today is to avoid with all their heart and condemn with all their might these anti-Christ "churches". The result is that MOST credible and moral and believing Protestants no longer belong to or support an organized "church" and thus are no longer counted as members. But that doesn't mean they're not still Protestants, because if that were the standard, then almost all of our PROTESTANT Founding Fathers, who were 99% of our Founders, could not be counted as Protestants, nor even Christians.
jew Weiss IMPOSES judaism on OUR Children, REJECTS Jesus
If all non-Christians want spoken prayers in public schools, then of the 199 million, 20 million want non-Christian prayers and 179 million want Christian prayers. Most jews seem to have the opinion of Dr. Richard Weiss:
But, if you try to IMPOSE your will and religious idealogies on my children, who are going to public school to receive a secular reducation (I responsibly take care of their religios upbringing personally, according to my own beliefs), I will FIGHT you and your cronies with every fiber of my body. R. Weiss
Richard C. Weiss <weissrl@vetmed.auburn.edu>, Tuesday, January 25, 2000 10:23 AM
Atheists and agnostics don't want spoken prayers, so if it's assumed that Muslims want Muslim prayer, Buddhists want Buddhist prayer, other religionists want their kind of prayer, and that all Christians want a Christian prayer, then a maximum of 6.6 million of the 199 million who want spoken prayers want a prayer other than a Christian prayer, and 192.4 million want Christian prayers. This is 72.9% of all Christians and 67.7% of all Americans, enough public support for a Constitutional amendment to exile jews like Weiss.

Religious Population of the World, 1996
(in thousands)
Statistics of the world's religions are only very rough approximations. Aside from Christianity, few religions, if any, attempt to keep statistical records; and even Protestants and Catholics employ different methods of counting members. All persons of whatever age who have received baptism in the Catholic Church are counted as members, while in most Protestant Churches only those who “join” the church are numbered. The compiling of statistics is further complicated by the fact that in China one may be at the same time a Confucian, a Taoist, and a Buddhist. In Japan, one may be both a Buddhist and a Shintoist.

[Do you favor] "Allowing daily prayer to be spoken in the classroom":
| Favor | 70% |
| Oppose | 28% |
| No opinion | 2% |
Note that even this poll from the leftist Gallup Organization shows that 70% of the American population favors spoken daily prayers in the classroom, which is now 198.8 million people who DO want school prayer, versus 79.5 million who reportedly don't. This leftist poll even shows that 85% of Americans, or 241 million of them, are Christians. But when all of the members of Christian churches, and other Christians who aren't members of organized churches, are added up, the figure is 93%, or 264 million. In other words, more than a quarter of a billion Americans are Christians.
This leaves us with the following possible combinations. At one extreme, if all of those who want school prayer are Christians, then the figures are:
US Population = 284 million
Total Christians = 264 million
Christians who want school prayer = 198.8 million
Christians who opppose school prayer = 65.2 million
Others who oppose school prayer = 14.3 million
At the other extreme, if all of those who want school prayer are the non-Christians, then the figures are:
US Population = 284 million
Total Christians = 264 million
Christians who want school prayer = 178.8 million
Christians who oppose school prayer = 85.2 million
Others who want school prayer = 20 million
Others who oppose school prayer = 0
Either way this is evaluated, those who oppose school prayer are a small MINORITY. Do you really, really believe, deep down in your heart, that a MINORITY group of pagans and other non-Christians and pseudo-Christians should be permitted to control what the MAJORITY group of Christians want?
Those who *do* believe that ought to be just packed up and shipped out. If you want to get an idea of what this country will look like in 20 years if we don't do just that, take a trip to Russia, where former Christians are still wandering around wondering what happened to their own culture.

A competing view of of the Christian population in the US is from Mapquest which reports that only 84% or 244 million of Americans are Catholics or Protestants http://go.hrw.com/atlas/norm_htm/usa.htm

As a percentage there are fewer Christians in the US than there are in most Christian nations, AND as an absolute number, there are more Christians in India and China than there are in the US.
Only 84% of Americans are Catholics or Protestants, compared to 100% in Belgium and Ireland, 99% in Italy, Portugal, Monaco, and Spain, 98% in Germany and Denmark, 92% in France and Netherlands, 91% in Iceland, 90% in Finland, and 89% in Sweden and Norway.
Another interesting point about our "ally" in "Israel"--only 2% of its population is now Christians, down from 42% in 1923, which means there are 2,000 times as many Christians in China and 1,040 times as many in India!!!
As a percentage of the population, compared to Israel, there are 20 times as many Christians in Ethiopia, 15 times as many in Lebanon, 5 times as many in Syria, 4 times as many in Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, 3 times as many in Sudan, Jordan, and Egypt--AND FIFTY PERCENT MORE IN IRAQ!!!
A very small percentage of jews can pervert an entire once-powerful Christian nation
Protestants soon to be minority in U.S., study finds
July 21, 2004
BY CATHLEEN FALSANI Religion Reporter
America's Protestant majority is about to disappear, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Chicago.
Since the pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock nearly 400 years ago, America has been a largely Protestant nation.
But as early as the end of this year, Protestants likely will make up less than 51 percent of the population for the first time in history, sociologists at the university's National Opinion Research Center surmise in a new report released Tuesday.
According to survey results from more than 43,000 Americans gathered over the last 30 years, the percentage of Protestants in the national population has shrunk from 63 percent in 1993 to 52 percent in 2002.
Surveys defined Protestant as any Christian denomination that was formed at the time of the Reformation or thereafter, including groups such as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, said Tom Smith, director of the NORC's General Social Survey, where most of the data was collected.
"Our projection is that the Protestant percentage in the 2004 survey will probably be somewhere between 50 and 51 percent," Smith said. "It's particularly striking because for 30 years, it was absolutely stable.''
Smith said media have covered "the rise of nontraditional American religions ... and the rise of people without any faith, but what was missing from that story was, OK, the number of people with no faith was rising but nobody was paying attention to where they were coming from."
In the last 30 years, the number of people who say they were brought up with no religion at all has risen from 2 percent to 7 percent, according to the NORC report.
From 1993 to 2002, the number of people who said they had no religion rose from 9 percent to nearly 14 percent, and in that same time period the number of people who said they were raised Protestant fell from 64 percent to about 56 percent.
"There is some evidence that a large portion of this problem is that a fair number of marginal Protestants are not really engaged in their faith and therefore didn't pass it on to their kids," Smith said. "The mom and dad would say, for example, 'Yeah, we're Methodists,' but they never went to church. They'd baptize their kids and that's about it."
If the Protestant majority does indeed disappear, the United States will be a nation of religious minorities. The next largest religious group after Protestant is Roman Catholic, at about 25 percent. The Catholic population has remained stable over the last decade, according to the NORC study.
"The Catholic defection is [also] pretty large, but they are being replaced by immigrants," said R. Stephen Warner, a professor of sociology at the University of Illinois at Chicago, after reviewing the NORC report. "Christianity is becoming a religion of people of color. Part of this is the decline of the WASP."
The Rev. John Buchanan, pastor of Chicago's 5,200-member Fourth Presbyterian Church, said he welcomes the demise of the Protestant majority.
"I'm not applauding the Protestant decline . . . what I'm applauding is the viability of a truly diverse nation, a nation that opens its arms and heart to different races, different religions," said Buchanan, whose own congregation is bucking trends by doubling its attendance in the last decade.
"I think that's a better place to be than a nation that's dominated by one religion -- whatever it is."

In the above Gallup Poll, had Founding Fathers like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, as well as many of our nation's leaders and politicians today, been asked which church they're affiliated with, they would have been listed in the "no preference" category, indicating that a large percentage if not all in that category are Christians who are not members of organized churches. Conversely, jews and Muslims are identified by the fact that they ARE affiliated with with established organizations. The fact that Muslims in 1996 and 2002, and agnostics and atheists in 1996 were too few in number to be rounded off to one percent, suggests that their appearance in other years may be due to the extremely small sample size of most Gallup polls, whose margin of error is larger than these figures. This would mean that as many as 95% of Americans in 1996, 93% in 2001, and 94% in 2002, identified themselves as Christians.
