    I refuse to believe it’s really that high.

      I want to belive it’s how the question and answers were phrased, and what they think of as ‘Christian’

      And TFA does dig into that thankfully

      I believe in the article it says “DONT KNOW” answers were not included in the infographics.

      If the stats were 25% THEOCRACY 50% DONT KNOW 25% NOT THEOCRACY, thats a much different article, innit?

      If you read the article, it’s actually a fairly nuanced look at how a “Christian Nation” means very different things to different people. Most people who say they want it have relatively benign thoughts about what it means.

      I’m just saying that the article doesn’t say nearly half of Americans want a theocracy.

      60-80% of Americans still identify as Christian from a quick google search. The percentages are lower in young generations, but still very much in the range that this is a plausible number.
