Christianity is just a multi Billion dollar scam
People are finally catching on and that's why it's dropping like a rock.
Now Run along and go buy some Chocolate EGGS for the Easter Egg Hunt.
Literally nobody in MAGA follows #3 and that is Millions of people right there.
1. People who identify as Christian
Globally, about 2.3–2.4 billion people identify as Christian — roughly 1 in 3 people on Earth.
In the U.S., surveys (like those from Pew Research Center) show around 60–65% of adults identify as Christian.
2. People who actively practice
When you look at behavior (church attendance, prayer, trying to live by teachings), the number drops:
In the U.S., only about 20–30% attend church weekly
A somewhat larger group (maybe 30–40%) say religion is very important in their lives
3. People who follow teachings deeply
This is where it gets subjective.
Teachings of Jesus (from sources like the New Testament) include things like:
Loving enemies
Radical forgiveness
Non-materialism
Helping the poor consistently
Humility and self-sacrifice
Very few surveys can measure that level of adherence. Studies that try (looking at generosity, forgiveness, lifestyle choices, etc.) generally suggest:
Only a small minority consistently live in alignment with those teachings
Even among regular churchgoers, behavior often only partially aligns
