218. Significantly less than number who call themselves Christian.
"80 percent of Americans call themselves Christians, 72 percent expect the Second Coming of Christ, and 40 percent say they speak to on intimate terms at least twice a week."

Cornerl West, Democracy Matters p.147.

Although I'm suspect of the methodology of the study cited in the OP, it is still interesting that 20% of Americans do not consider themselves Christian (and that includes muslims, jews, etc) yet 43% believe in evolution.
