Being optimistic you might cut that 80% to 75%. Not much, but still there are indications Americans are weaning themselves off the comfort blanked so many still cling to. Three years old so let's say comfortably 75%.

In U.S., smaller share of adults identify as Christians, while religious 'nones' have grownThe religious landscape of the United States continues to change at a rapid clip. In Pew Research Center telephone surveys conducted in 2018 and 2019, 65% of American adults describe themselves as Christians when asked about their religion, down 12 percentage points over the past decade. Meanwhile, the religiously unaffiliated share of the population, consisting of people who describe their religious identity as atheist, agnostic or “nothing in particular,” now stands at 26%, up from 17% in 2009.
Both Protestantism and Catholicism are experiencing losses of population share. Currently, 43% of U.S. adults identify with Protestantism, down from 51% in 2009. And one-in-five adults (20%) are Catholic, down from 23% in 2009. Meanwhile, all subsets of the religiously unaffiliated population – a group also known as religious “nones” – have seen their numbers swell. Self-described atheists now account for 4% of U.S. adults, up modestly but significantly from 2% in 2009; agnostics make up 5% of U.S. adults, up from 3% a decade ago; and 17% of Americans now describe their religion as “nothing in particular,” up from 12% in 2009. Members of non-Christian religions also have grown modestly as a share of the adult population.
The bolded add up to 26%. So let's say up it by one and say even 73% still hung up on the bible. In other words more in the most Christian country of the West are becoming more .. yeppers, free. Which can only be good. Chuckle, why not. Considering the Roe leak popped the next day gotta claim some decent timing with this of mine
"...the easy manipulation..." Been wondering how to reply to yours and while drafting one i just posted yours come to mind What is the most widespread, most damaging brainwashing con in the history of woankind? Religion. Based on the best available factual evidence that is most certainly closer to the truth than any of the main religions' truth. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=168728257
