I don't.
I just saw a poll about this:

Quote:
  • 8% of Americans classify as evangelicals (not based on self-description; see the Evangelical research archive for the definition of an evangelical) (2007)
  • 35% are born again but not evangelical (not based on self-description; see the Born Again research archive for the definition)(2007)
  • 40% are other kinds of Christians, or else did not respond.
  • 10% of all Americans are atheists or agnostics (2007)
  • people of other faiths comprise 7% of the US population (2007)
Of course the context here is accepting evolution, in which case it's far more than 20% that do not.
