Sir,

I read with great interest Mr. George Cornell’s article titled “poll: U.S. predominantly Christian” in the April 13 1991 issue of The Houston Chronicle. I was very impressed to see the details included in the bar charts covering the different Christian denominations and different non-Christian religions. However I was very surprised and sad to see omission of Sikh religion. As I am a practicing Sikh and know a little bit about Sikh population in U.S.A my estimate of Sikh population in U.S.A. is between 100000 to 120000. Even in Greater Houston area the Sikh population is above 3000. I am sure that in your future surveys you would not exclude the Sikhs.
