The US Jesus may no longer be a Protestant. New PEW survey (whose 
methodologies, etc. have been criticized many times on this list):

(LATimes, today)
Protestants lose majority in U.S. for first time; unaffiliated up
October 9, 2012 | 11:44 am

ChurchProtestants, who have played a central role in the nation's founding 
and development, no longer make up a majority of Americans for the first 
time in history, according to a study released Tuesday.

The study by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life found that Protestants 
now make up 48% of Americans, compared with nearly two-thirds in the 1970s 
and 1980s. The decline, concentrated among white members of both mainline 
and evangelical denominations, is amplified by an absence of Protestants on 
the U.S. Supreme Court and the Republican presidential ticket for the first 
time.
