I did the numbers a while back, but I can't recall the original data and was hoping someone can help me with the numbers. IIRC, in absolute numbers, there seems to actually be more Christians who accept evolution than atheists (merely because the number of atheists is relatively small).
As a Christian who accepts evolution, I find this useful to combat the YEC presentation of evolution as an atheistic belief, not fit for Christian consumption.
Does anyone have the numbers to work out whether that statement is true in the U.S.? It was something like 75% of Americans are Christian, and around 25% of Christians accept evolution, and even though 100% of atheists accept evolution, since only a single digit percentage of Americans are atheists, than number is still actually smaller than the "Christian Evolutionists". Those numbers might be wrong, but I am pretty sure that it ends up being a correct statement.
