I suspect that there is more agnostics and atheists in America than we realize but they tend to label themselves as non religious. Then there are those who call themselves Christian but give the middle finger toward their own religion and live their lives as they please. I tend to think that another reason is fear of death. The idea that a loving God will provide ultimate bliss in the afterlife is something that many people flock toward because the alternative of being in deep sleep without any dreams forever is something that many just cannot accept. Sad but true.
Following the word of Jesus Christ and the bible...that just happens to be the dominant religion of the country.
