Most Christians don't actually believe in the Rapture at all, although
probably this belief is more popular in America thanks to Hal Lindsey.

Of those churches who do, very few of them hold the belief that the
Rapture has already happened and that we are the remainder who are
left.  But I know some churches that split off from the Witnesses do
believe that, and they believe that we are living in the Time of 
Tribulation right now.
