Religious Composition of America Since 1776
The founding fathers were deists, not Christians. The data reveals that only 17% of Americans were part of a religious tradition in 1776. This information is from a chapter on the history of American religion in a forthcoming textbook for Oxford titled 'American Religious Landscape Facts Trends in the Future'. Another insightful resource is the book 'The Churching of America' which provides an in-depth perspective on this topic.
