"You believe that there is one God. Good for you! The devils also believe that, and they tremble with fear." (James 2:19)

Dr. D. James Kennedy:

The vast majority of people who are members of churches in America today are not Christians. I base it on the empirical evidence of 24 years of examining tens of thousands of those people on what they are basing their hopes of eternal life, and it's not Jesus Christ! It is merely their own morality, their own piety and their own goodness."

It is a fact that Christianity shares the largest slice of the belief pie in the world today: 

Christianity (31.0%)
Islam (24.9%)
Unaffiliated (15.6%)
Hindu (15.2%)
Buddha (6.6%) 

It is a fact that no country has more Christians than the United States, with nearly 240 million souls of 327.

However, a recent survey by LifeWay Research proved that the majority of American Christians are, in fact, 'heretics'! 

Proof #1. In general, American Christians appear to agree that Jesus died on the cross for sin and that He rose from the dead. 

Proof #2. Most of them, however, think that "religious belief is a matter of personal opinion, not about objective truth".

Proof #3. 52% say that "most people are basically good".
