But yeah, I should have limited that statement to the USA. I'll try to find some statistics for that claim. |
In 2005 40% of Americans believed in Evolution, 21% were not sure and and 39% reject it (
Why doesn't America believe in evolution? - being-human - 20 August 2006 - New Scientist)
The main survey of religious affiliation in the US is the 2001 ARIS survey (
http://www.gc.cuny.edu/faculty/research_briefs/aris.pdf ) which identified 15 % of adults has having no religion - So even if all those believe in evolution, there are at least 25% the population who are both religious and believe in evolution - so your statement seems to hold up
