Well to the contrary, from what I've seen most actual research into the matter points to the fact that the whole "none" demographic was simply made up as a way to manipulate statistics. the most recent number I saw in research was that 72% of "nones" had religious beliefs and practices, such as praying, reading the Bible, believed in God, etc. etc. They just simply didn't attend Church or consider themselves part of a specific denomination.

The remaining 28% more or less fall into what you're saying. People who are "Christian", who basically just believe that God exists, but have never read a single Bible Verse and know literally nothing about God, Jesus, the Bible, etc.

As I said, the 84-92% figure covers everything from people with basic Christian beliefs, to the most devout believer. Realistically, even at the "official peak" of 90%, not every single person was a devout believer. You had people who worked 12+ hours a day in the fields or factories, and literally did not have time for Church, reading the Bible, etc.

They may have only had "basic" Christian beliefs, but the only thing that really matters is if Jesus Christ is their Lord and Savior.

Either way, it's a bit unreasonable to assume everyone under the Christian demographic category is super devout. People's lifestyle, culture, etc. are all factors in such things.

Here's an example. My super uptight great aunt (woman is literally 90), would get angry at anyone for not going to Church, uttering the slightest curse word, etc etc. Real Church Lady type. She's the type of person most of these polls and surveys would categorize as "extremely devout".

On the other hand, I haven't been to an actual physical Church since the plandemic, when I lost respect for my former pastor and most of the people I went to Church with when they closed things down and started promoting the jab when it came out. I would technically fall under the "none" category if I were to categorized by most of these survey groups. (not that I've ever been asked).

Having said that, I've never felt closer to God than I have in the past few years. Doing a personal Bible Study where I just read the Bible daily in a time I set aside for that sole purpose, and watching based online messages from based preachers is my new thing.

Am I suddenly now "irreligious" as the None category would indicate? No, Because Jesus is still just as much my Lord and Savior as my Aunt's.

Another factor to consider, is the metric of viewership for online Church services. Did you know that even before the plandemic, Online Church Viewership for the past 13 years has been exploding? If I remember correctly it was something like the viewership rate was doubling every other year.

This is one of those metrics that pollsters "conveniently" overlook. If older people who are uptight about physical Church attendance are still going to physical Churches, where are all of these new viewers coming from if Christianity is on the decline? It's also convenient that they neglect that most of the viewership for online Church messages comes from younger people, the exact demographics that are often called the least religious.

And that's just one more example of how they manipulate the statistics to achieve their predetermined result.

Again, not saying everyone is a devout "church lady" type of Christian. But, I firmly believe that the majority of people at least have "basic" Christian beliefs and morals.
