Christian Nation: After years of complaining about Hollywood, conservative Catholics and Evangelical Christians are gaining traction. But the battle is a long way from over, and the culture is still up for grabs. Many of these developments stem more from a long-overdue recognition of the importance of the Christian consumer market rather than a decision to embrace Christianity. While it may come as news to some, this is a largely Christian nation. White Evangelicals alone make up 26% of the population, according to John Green, University of Akron. When you add in Catholics, mainline Protestants, black Evangelicals, and other Christians, he figures nearly 80% of Americans are affiliated with a Christian church. (Business Week Online 12/14/05)
