It is estimated that 1.4 to 1.6 percent of Americans owned slaves at the peak of slavery in the US. Of that percentage, we don't know how many were christians. When it comes to the religious views of the fathers of the country, people are quick to claim that most of them were not christians, but rather deists, but when it comes to slave owners they want to claim that they were all christians. Probably some who claimed to be christians owned slaves and some of them were just not christians. It also means that 98.6 to 98.4 percent of the population did not own slaves at all be they christians or not. How many non-christians supported slavery at the time?
