Nearly half of the voters surveyed in a recent poll believe there is not enough attention paid to Jesus Christ during the Christmas holiday.

A poll from the Hill and HarrisX showed that 46% of respondents believe there is too little focus on the religious aspects of Christmas during the holiday season. On the other hand, 18% of those asked believe there is too much emphasis on religion during the annual celebration of the birth of Jesus. Just over a third of respondents said that Americans have hit a sweet spot of balancing religion with other elements of the holiday.

The poll found a slight divide by party affiliation among respondents. Of the Republicans asked, 57% said there is not enough religion in the Christmas holiday, whereas 45% of Democratic respondents agreed. Independents had the lowest percentage of disgruntled respondents, with just 37% saying that Christmas needs more of a focus on faith.

The percentage of Americans who are religious has declined over the past decade. Today, 65% of those surveyed by Pew identified as Christians, compared to 77% in 2009. Meanwhile, those who identify as agnostic or atheist climbed from 17% to 26%.

President Trump is an advocate of saying “merry Christmas” instead of “happy holidays” this time of year. Since taking office he has declared victory in the “war on Christmas.”

"When I first started campaigning, people were not allowed, or in some cases, foolishly ashamed, to be using on stores 'merry Christmas, happy Christmas.' They would say 'happy holidays.' They would have red walls, you would never see Christmas," Trump said.

He added, "That was four years ago. Take a look at your stores nowadays. It's all 'merry Christmas' again, 'merry Christmas' again. They are proud of it. I always said you're going to be saying 'merry Christmas' again and that's what happened."
