Even if only, say, 20 percent of Americans are true born-again believers (a random number,) that would still have immense effects considering that Christians have risen to all sorts of prominent levels in power in the USA.
Wonder what other countries would experience similar effects? (Of course, this would get into a fierce debate as to whether Catholics get Raptured or not - personally I doubt it, and this would mean that a nation like the Philippines, for instance, which is around 90 percent Catholic, wouldn't get mostly Raptured.)
