After checking the stats on Christians and Jews in the US, I'd say 0.5 - 1.0%.

You said not to look up the info on the Muslims.  I didn't.  The Christian : Jew ratio helped out.  Combined with the US population, that is.  Got approximately 2% of the US as Jews.  Fixed the floor-ceiling at 0.25-0.5 of that.  I was going to go way lower.

Apparently there was a study that people WAY overestimate the # of Muslims in the country.

Malcolm cheated.  But, you and I are geniuses.

270-something million Christians.  Figure that leaves 30M for everyone else.  Minus 5.5M.  Based on immigration history alone, no way there are as many Muslims as Jews in this country.  I brainlessly halved it, then halved it again for the lower range of my guess.

I think I read the number a bunch of years ago when someone mentioned Bush was declaring war on islam and someone else "there are more muslims in America than there are in..." wherever.

I bet half of them are in Dearborn, MI.

Haven't checked recently, but 10-ish years ago when Bush was declaring war on Islam, I read somewhere that:
1. Most Muslims in this country were Black Americans, like Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan.
2. Most *Arabs* in this country were actually Coptic Christians from Egypt

No idea if these two things were ever true or are true now.
