This statistic shows the development of the importance of the religious aspect of Christmas celebration to U.S. consumers from 1990 to 2010. Throughout the years, the figures seem to have been stable: in all three sampled years, almost half of the surveyed respondents stated that Christmas is a strongly religious holiday for them, while the share of respondents deeming Christmas "not too religious" has decreased slightly from 20 percent in 1990 to 17 percent in 2010.
