A recent Rasmussen Reports survey found that 83% of American adults believe the person known to history as Jesus Christ actually walked the earth around two-thousand years ago. Just 7% do not while 10% are not sure. Seventy-seven percent (77%) believe that Jesus was who Christians say he is--the Son of God who came to earth to die for our sins. Seventy-six percent (76%) also think that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. Among popular Easter traditions, 72% say they will have a family meal to celebrate the holiday, 56% say they will attend an Easter church service this year, and 40% of the nation’s adults will participate in an Easter egg hunt. Forty-six percent (46%) consider Easter to be one of our nation’s most important holidays. That’s up nearly ten points from last year. Eleven percent (11%) say Easter is one of the least important holidays while 38% think it’s is somewhere in between. Overall, Christmas and the Fourth of July top the list of most important holidays. Church attendance has remained steady this year compared to last year. A little over a third (35%) of adults say they attend church at least once a week. Twenty-nine percent (29%) rarely or never go to church and 35% are somewhere in between. See survey results and toplines. Crosstabs are available to Premium Members only.
