Over just over 20 years from the beginning of January 1998 through today, there have been 69 killers committing 66 mass public shootings in the United States where at least four people have been killed. Of those attacks, just four have been identified as Christians, with just three clearly regular churchgoers. With 70 percent of Americans identifying themselves as Christians and over 33 percent going to church at least once a week, those numbers are a long way away from the 48 or 23 we would respectively expect.<ref>[https://dailycaller.com/2018/05/26/religion-of-mass-public-shooters/ ''What Is The Religion Of Mass Public Shooters?''] by John Stott, ''Daily Caller'', 2018</ref>}}
