Easter Still Observed by Americans

2 in 3 to be in church on Easter

Lots of polling data suggests there is a secularization of US culture and waning church attendance -- except on Easter.
"According to a new Knights of Columbus-Marist poll, of all Americans, 63 percent plan to observe the day by attending church services, and among Catholics, the percentage rose to 74 percent."

"The poll also revealed 70 percent of Americans identified the day as the most important, or one of the most important religious holidays, on the calendar."

"The poll also found 86 percent of Americans and 88 percent of Catholic Americans correctly identified Easter as the celebration of Jesus Christ's resurrection."
