79% Believe Jesus Christ Rose from the Dead

[T]he latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 88% of adults nationwide think the person known to history as Jesus Christ actually walked the earth 2,000 years ago. That’s up five points from a year ago.

Eighty-two percent (82%) also believe that Jesus Christ was the son of God who came to Earth and died for our sins.

Nearly as many, 79% believe the central claim of the Christian faith--that Jesus Christ rose from the dead.

Among those who rarely or never attend church, 50% believe Jesus rose from the dead, 58% think he was the son of God and 72% say he walked the Earth.

A separate Rasmussen Reports survey found that 53% consider Easter to be one of the nation’s most important holidays.

If these results are even remotely close to the truth, it makes one wonder why Christians would ever vote for Liberals (mostly Democrats) whose very agenda and efforts are aimed at undermining and destroying religion in America -- especially Christianity -- along with its values, morals, traditions, and beliefs.

It also shows the basic foundation still exists upon which Conservatives can rebuild and restore America... if they will make the effort and do so!
