I get an email now and then from Kelsey Dallas of “State of Faith” This was in her report:
Nearly all Americans celebrate Christmas, but only around half can confidently retell the biblical story of Jesus Christ’s birth.
New data from LifeWay Research confirms something that I’ve long assumed to be true: Christmas is an incredibly popular holiday in the United States. More than 9 in 10 Americans (91%) say they celebrate it, the survey showed.
If you follow my reporting on the religious landscape, you probably know that far less than 91% of U.S. adults identify as Christian. As of this year, only 63% of Americans identify as Christian, according to Pew Research Center.
It should be no surprise, then, that many people who celebrate Christmas don’t know much about the holiday’s religious significance. Lifeway Research found that 25% of Americans feel they could only give a “quick overview” of the biblical story of Jesus Christ’s birth and that 17% feel they couldn’t describe any of it.
