Default what percentage of americans go to church on christmas?

my friend and i were talking about this today... does anyone know what percentage of americans go to church on christmas? his guess was about 25% of americans. but i'd figure if there was 50% of the population voting for bush and some of his religious right wing policies, i'd figure that they'd go to church on one of the most religious holidays of the year. anyway, yeh, so what % of the pop goes to church christmas morning?

I don't see Xmas as the "most religious holiday" but would say Easter beats it out by a long shot.

I would say something along the lines of 25-30%
