How many Christians are there in the US?
Was the US ever a Christian nation?
Yes, technically it still is. If you don't believe me, look at the politicians in charge, and the media. also there are secret christian groups who control the media, if you think that, that is just a conspiracy theory, look up 50 Cent' cross in the news, he was verbally attacked by one of the group…s for wearing a christian symbol around his neck while "promoting satanism." Answer Yes, One Nation Under God. That God is the Christian God. Answer Well... Technically speaking, the United States was never a Christian nation, in the fact that the U.S. never has had a state religion, or endorsed any religion. So, in that regard, the U.S. has always been non-religious. Now, the vast majority of the original population of the 13 Colonies were of some Christian denomination; many of the Founding Fathers were Christian, but a significant number were also Deist, which is NOT Christian. Culturally-speaking, the United States has drawn on a Judeo-Christian background for many of its morals and principles, but this has slowly decreased over time, as what it means to be "Christian" has broadened and fragmented over time, and the percentage of Christians in the populace has slowly declined. So, yes, the United States has some Christian iconography, imagery, and saying scattered throughout its government. In addition, as the morality of a timeperiod generally defines the laws of the time, Christian values and morals (as Christianity was the very large majority religion of the populace) heavily influenced laws and legal matters, particularly during the first half of the U.S.'s existence. So, to label the government as "Christian" is really a mistake; rather, the culture is based on Christianity. ( Full Answer )

A Cross is not a symbol of Christ's death but his resurrection. Some churches , notably Roman Catholic and some Orthodox churches use crucifixes - i.e. crosses on which are depicted the figure of the dying or dead Christ, in order that they remember the death of Christ. Im other churches, however, t…he Cross is empty - symbolising the resurrected Christ, and it is this aspect of our faith that we remember when a cross is used in Church. They are often used on a communion table, or as any focal point within the building. ( Full Answer )
How many Christians have Christians killed?
I don't get it. Christians haven't killed any Christians. There is the Klu Klux Klan (which I HATE even though I am a Christian.) that is an evil Christian group that muders those who do not believe. I do not think it exists anymore though. There are always evil groups in every religon. Those who fo…rce people to believe what they believe. This is wrong. I hate to disagree, but in the interest of historical accuracy, I must. The truth is that Christians have killed many many of their fellows throughout the ages. This phenomena started on a large scale shortly after Christianity became the state religion of the Roman Empire and various Christian teachings were labelled as heretical. One notable group that was hunted by state sponsored Christianity but still exists today is the Coptic Church which is centered in Egypt. Unfortunately, this basic pattern continued, sometimes over religious disagreements (Protestants vs. Catholics in the reformation), others over purely political reasons (the American Civil War), and so on into the present day (a good recent example off the top of my head is Catholics and Protestants fighting and killing each other in Northern Ireland, although this has thankfully cooled down very recently). Some might argue that all/any of these groups are truly Christian, but short of redefining the term, I think we're stuck with the fact that Christians have killed at least hundreds of thousands of each other through history, which is quite remarkable for a religion that clearly teaches that we, "consider others better than ourselves." (Phil. 2:3) For the record, I am a Christian and quite ashamed of these parts of the churches history. ( Full Answer )

How many are Christian?
It is recorded that 33% of the world's religious adherents are Christians. However, the number appears to be elusive, possibly because most information of this kind is given on a national census. Otherwise, people tend not to record what their belief system is. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~… ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Many people are born christian but many people become christian when there older because of personal reasons so every minute hour day someone new becomes christian or is born christian already Answer: While the number of Christians is hard to tell, many claim to be so. However, to become a Christian Biblically, a person needs to reckon that he is a sinner and are not worthy of God's glory: "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23. We should all pay the penalty for sin by eternal death: "For the wages of sin is death;" yet God wishes to give us forgiveness and eternal life: "but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23. "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8. Christ paid the pric on the Cross for our sins. In response to this, if we trust in Christ as our Savior from sin's penalty, is that we gain forgiveness and eternal life, becoming a Christian. "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9 & 10. Verse 13 says: "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." The sad thing is that many would say they are Christian because they go to church, were brought up in a church, or think that they are good enough. Jesus said: "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." Matthew 7:21-23. We need to truly believe in Christ and all He did to be saved, to be a true Christian: "Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent." John 6:29. In verse 47 He says: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life." Without true belief in Christ, one cnnot be a Christian. ( Full Answer )

Is Christianity a state religion of the US?
Christianity is too broad of a category of a loose collection of a family of religious beliefs to be pinned down as a particular religion. In this, Christianity is more of a moral philosophical ideal or belief system than an institutionalized religion. In American law, beliefs are to conscience of i…ndividuals as religions are to institutions. The USA has freedom of religion on the federal level in terms of freedom of conscience, freedom of worship, freedom of liturgical rites, and freedom from establishment of a national church denomination or other institutional religion, so it cannot have a national religion. This was so because most of the states in the founding of the US federal government had run various degrees of state run Christian church denominations or denominational services in that time as paid for by state citizen tax dollars. Setting up a federal national level church would automatically mean all state run churches of the several states would have to be dis-established by US federal law and so dis-establishment was not accomplished at that time. When the Bill of Rights was compiled to assure that the federal level would not dis-establish the state run churches, the US senators of the several states where deemed too patriotic to their home states to implement what would be a move to have a trans-denominational public square at all levels of government. And so they refused to make much of the federal Bill of Rights applicable to the states. In time, the citizens of the several states later enacted amendments and new constitutions that also dis-established state run churches; but often continued to retain resolutions as being a Christian or Protestant autonomous countries and often included the gamut of the Ten Commandments as well as other Christian Biblical precepts. In addition, many states wrote their own bill of rights that mimic much of what was contained in the federal level thereby making many of the rights uniform across all levels of government in the US. And so Christian religion, that is Christian beliefs and practices, were not barred from American government being a Common Law country using a Biblical moral code. The US Congress continues to open with Christian prayer with every session as it has since 1776. One of the champions for the trans-denominational ideal being President Thomas Jefferson even so far had dispatched federal funds to write a special Bible for the Indian tribes so that they can assimilate into the US and learn the Western moral principals derived from teachings of Jesus Christ titled: "Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth" known as the Jefferson "Bible" and sponsored the nation's first trans-denomination Christian university in Virginia (where all universities and colleges were strictly run by church denominations and seminaries beforehand). And it was this Jefferson "Bible" that was handed to every junior, newly elected congressman sent to Capitol Hill into the 20th century. In addition, historical records show that Capital Hill held the largest Christian worship service in all of Washington D.C. by 1850 as well as services held in the house of the US Treasury.

What do christians use in a church for worship?

How did Christianity influenced the US?
Here only a few things to be considered: First American Holiday is Thanksgiving, even today is the most relevant...

First successful l…aw for a state was from The Bible in Massachusetts. Harvard University was founded by John Harvard... Yale University with the help and influence of Jeremiah Dummer (It should be named Dummer University), he made Elihu Yale and Isaac Newton two of his most important supporters... Newton science ... Blaise Pascal created the base for the computer that so basic for the US today and the world... Switzerland invented the Internet that US owns now (Read about the story of this small country and you're going to be shocked), they created the limit for the sea that corresponds to a coast-country, they at the end created the democracy system of the present time where you can live with freedom and go to the poll to pick a president and congressmen, they put the rules to war, has been the richest country in the world for a while, and US, including the whole world have been benefited with pencil-tip-size country... The slavery abolition, the independence and constitution were base on Christianity, capitalism, extraordinary justice, Churches in everywhere, creation of hospitals, Universities, colleges, schools, non-profit institutions like YMCA and a lot more... In time of health crisis like plagues and insanity (when the sound ones feared to be contagiated), casualties and injured people in time of war, Christians have taken an important place. Without Christians to be present In the funeral of those who die, the American folk would straggle to step ahead! Rarely one of the inventors that have brought development to US was out of the christian church... Discovery of sound waves and Invention of the radio, Steam Machine, Ship, TV, Phone, airplane, computer, trains, cars, electricity, power, glasses, general science, medicine, vaccines, international trading...

Yes. Matthew 5:16 says Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

It's explaining that Christians need to be the light of the world. Because what good is a light, covered up? Let your light shine before men! ( Full Answer )

Why do many Christians think that Mormons are not Christian?
Many Protestants and Catholics believe that Mormons (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) are not Christians because Mormons do not believe in the trinity, that God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost are one person. Mormons believe that they are one in purpose but not… in substance. Also, Mormons believe that salvation is through faith in Christ coupled with repentance (a general turning from a life of sin to following Christ). Many mainstream Christians believe that repentance is not required for salvation and that Mormons are trying to work their way to heaven. There are other beliefs and practices that many Christians find uncomfortable, such as the building of temples and the practice of temple ordinances in addition to Sunday worship, the emphasis on modern day revelation through living apostles, and other scriptures (i.e. the Book of Mormon) in addition to the bible. Also the Mormon church has no paid clergy and most members live the law of tithing where they give ten percent of their income to the church. Since the Mormon church claims to be the true Church of Jesus Christ restored to the earth by Jesus himself, the church does not acknowledge the priesthood authority of other churches though it supports the good works of other churches and the freedom to choose religious practices. (Another Answer) I am Mormon (LDS). I promise we are no different than you guys. I play for a Competition soccer team, I play on Sundays with my team, I am no different than you. Everybody thinks we are polygamists, but were not, the F LDS religion bashes us and spreads false rumors about us. We are Christian we believe in Jesus Christ we believe in heavenly father. We are not a cult, the people that say we are are wrong. At Mormoncult.org he says that he was a "true blue" Mormon for 20 something years. The reason he is saying that is because he is F LDS. We believe that the Book of Mormon is a another testament of Jesus Christ. We believe that the Bible is another testament of Jesus Christ. That is fine that other religions believe that Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the holy ghost are one, we believe that they are 3 divine figures. We believe that long ago the church was wiped off the earth, Later when Joseph Smith was 14 Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ appeared to him and told him to restore the church. We also believe that Jesus will come again, and Satan will be bound. ( Full Answer )

How did Christianity come about in the US?
Christianity came to the USA in two branches. For all practical purposes, we can consider that the first branch was brought by English settlers to the region of Virginia in 1607. The settlers were members of the Church of England, and the colony was supported by James I of England. The second …branch was bought by the Pilgrim Fathers, who settled in what is now Massachusetts in 1620. The Pilgrim Fathers brought a form of Christianity that is called "Puritan." They were also "Separatists." Puritans try to live as close as possible to the pattern laid down by Jesus, and to avoid compromise with the world. Separatists don't have bishops, with the Pilgrim Fathers already being constituted as a single self-governing congregation before they came to America. Other settlers of the USA, coming from Britain, Ireland and Europe, brought their Christian beliefs with them, and passed them on to their children. . ( Full Answer )
