36. Here is more evidence for my position.
Edited on Wed Dec-20-06 12:43 AM by cosmik debris
"Polls taken last year showed that 45 percent of Americans believe that God created humans in their present form 10,000 years ago (or less) and that man shares no common ancestor with the ape. Only 26 percent believe in the central tenet of evolution, that all life descended from a single ancestor."

If you accept that first paragraph as a fundamentalist position,

And if you believe that the Christian population of the U.S. is less than 90% of the population of the U.S.

(From ABC News: Eighty-three percent of Americans identify themselves as Christians. Most of the rest, 13 percent, have no religion. That leaves just 4 percent as adherents of all non-Christian religions combined — Jews, Muslims, Buddhists and a smattering of individual mentions.

Then you are stuck with the uncomfortable fact that half or more of the Christians in the U.S. are fundamentalists. It is really pretty simple math even for a lawyer.
