Canada's Religious Right Galvanized by Gay Marriage

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

44 percent of Canadians who say they have committed themselves to Christ

That sounds too high.

I'm curious what that even means.  Doesn't one "commit oneself to Christ" just by becoming Christian?  So wouldn't that simply mean that 44% of Canadians are Christian (which is way too low)?

I suppose it could apply to mainline Christians too but only sounds like something evangelicals and fundies would say. In that sense, the number does seem realistic, but it's still a pointless figure.
