Survey of 1,000 Adults March 21-22, 2005

March 25, 2005 --As Christians around the globe prepare to celebrate Easter, 76% of American adults believe that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. A Rasmussen Reports survey found that just 14% disagree. African-Americans are more likely to believe in the Resurrection of Christ more than other Americans. Adults under 30 are least likely to believe this basic premise of Christianity. Eighty-two percent (82%) believe that the man known to history as Jesus Christ actually walked on the earth. Seventy-eight percent (78%) believe he was the "Son of God who came to earth to die for our sins." Seventy percent (70%) of Americans claim a Christian religious affiliation (either Evangelical Christian, Protestant, or Catholic). Forty-six percent (46%) say they attend Church or other religious services at least once a week. The national telephone survey of 1,000 adults was conducted March 21 and March 22, 2005. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Demographic details are available for Premium Members.
