"A poll released Wednesday by the Pew Research Center found only half of Americans consider the holiday religious, even though nearly three-quarters said they believed Jesus was born to a virgin. One-third consider Christmas a cultural celebration."
"Church attendance will be higher than
usual during the holiday. But the survey found fewer adults are holding to the
tradition of attending worship services. Sixty-nine percent of respondents said
they attended Christmas services as a child. Only 54 percent will do so this
year. Meanwhile, 86 percent say they will gather
with extended family or friends and will buy gifts for them.
