How Many People Respond Today to this Sermon

Many people would have no response to John Edwards's "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" sermon.  This is due to the fact that society today is very different than that of the colonial 1600s.  Back then, almost everyone was Christian, and taught to believe in the power of God, Heaven, and Hell.  According to a 2008 survey, about 78% of U.S. citizens are Christian, 16% are not religious, and the rest are Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu, and more (http://religions.pewforum.org/reports).  Though Christians do make up the majority of the population, many of these people were taught not to fear God, but that God is very loving and forgives people's  sins.  A small handful may be scared, but others would view the sermon as ridiculous and continue to follow their path of worship. For the rest of the population, because Heaven and Hell have no meaning to them (Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, ect,) the "Sinners" sermon wouldn't affect them in any way.  The vast majority of people today probably wouldn't respond to the sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God."
