Slightly more Americans say they will attend an Easter church service this year — another sign that people are anxious to return to a state of pre-pandemic normalcy — a Rasmussen Reports survey released Thursday found.
Notably, 58 percent of Republicans said they will attend an Easter service, while a plurality of Democrats, 44 percent, said they will not. A majority of independents, 51 percent, also said they will not attend.Thirty-seven percent consider Easter, the day Christians believe marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ, one of our nation’s most important holidays.
Sixteen percent say Easter is one of the least important holidays and 41% say it’s somewhere in between.. Christmas, the holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus, remains the top holiday of the year for most Americans, followed by the Fourth of July and Thanksgiving.It comes as Americans continue to push for pre-pandemic normalcy, as every state, currently, is without a statewide mask mandate.
