Well, for a start, if they did, they would be wrong. Counting Unitarians, as I do, not to be Christian, it is certainly the case that the Christian proportion of the American population is as large now as it was in 1783, possibly larger; and certainly closer to the commanding heights of politics, business and even culture than it was at a time when everyone who was anyone was Deist, Unitarian and/or Freemason. But I shall deal with this in my next essay or two.
