A Pew Research Center survey conducted in 2016 found that about a third (32 percent) of Americans believe it is very important for a person to be Christian in order to be considered truly American. Nearly the same proportion (31 percent) contends that one’s religion is not at all important.
The link between religion and nationality is of greatest consequence to those Americans for whom religion plays a very important role in their life. Among this group, 51 percent say it is very important to be Christian in order to be truly American. For those respondents who say religion for them is only somewhat important, not too important or not important at all, just 11 percent say a Christian identity is very important to being an American.
There is also a denominational divide between Americans over their views of the relationship between Christianity and nationality. A majority (57 percent) of white evangelical Protestants say it is very important to be Christian in order to be a true American. Only 29 percent of white mainline Protestants and 27 percent of Catholics agree. And just 9 percent of people who are unaffiliated with an organized religion say it is very important for a person to be Christian in order to be truly American.
As the current debate over the refugee order suggests, a clear partisan split in the U.S. exists on the importance of being Christian. More than four in 10 Republicans (43 percent) say it is a very important part of being an American. Fewer Democrats (29 percent) and independents (26 percent) share this view.
A third of the U.S. sees being Christian as central to being "truly American."https://t.co/RgvqtmHXAG
There is also a fairly large generation gap over the link between religious faith and national identity. People ages 50 and older place far greater importance on being a Christian (4 percent say it is very important) than Americans under 35 (18 percent).
Religion and a sense of “who is us” are far more intertwined in the American consciousness than in that of most other people. The same Pew Research Center survey also asked people in Canada, Australia and 10 European countries about the link between national identity and being Christian. A median of just 15 percent in Europe and a similar number in Canada (15 percent) and Australia (13 percent) say it is very important to be Christian in order to be a true national. Only in Greece do more than half (54 percent) of the public state that being Christian is very important to national identity.
Besides religion, what do Americans see as vital to their national identity? Seven in 10 say it is very important that people speak English to be “truly” American. And more than four in 10 (45 percent) say being a real American requires sharing in the country’s traditions and culture.

Jesus took only one poll that we know of ("Who do men say that I am?"). And Jesus did not give a hoot about the results of that poll, either---He only cared about the true answer to His question, namely, that He was the Christ, the Son of the Living God.
THE Christ, not A Christ.
