Three in Four in U.S. Still See the Bible as Word of God

[koshergrl]

"Despite some evidence that Americans are becoming more detached from formal religion, the vast majority of Christians, and therefore of Americans, still view the Bible as God's word. The 28% adhering to biblical literalism in the trend question is down about 10 percentage points since the late 1970s. But that decline mainly occurred in the 1980s and 1990s. Ever since, the figure has varied between 27% and 34%, with the current 28% on the low end of that range."

"Ultimately, the finding that nine in 10 Christians believe the Bible emanates from God indicates that U.S. Christians are Christian in more than name only."

If you had bothered to read:

"Results for this Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews conducted May 8-11, 2014, with a random sample of 1,028 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia."

Corresponds well with the number of people who actually read the Bible

 

[Mephisto]

So the people that believe the bible is the literaly word is God is near the all time low. and the people that believe that is is secular is up 7%.

So looking at the graph the folks that believe in the bible is trending down while secular is trending up.

indeed

my child will not be forced into such brainwashing and cultish hedonism - she will make her own choice, as an adult.

however many people read the bible I heard that some of them have studied scripture for decades and even have diplomas and certificates and numerous connections and even are licensed by the state to deceive but still worship a human being as if he was a god.

Apparently reading the bible doesn't do any good or make any difference at all if one has already lost their mind.

God will surely give justice to his people who plead with him day and night? 8 Yes! He will answer them quickly! But the question is: When I, the Messiah, return, how many will I find who have faith and are praying*?”Luke 18:8

Meaning a small minority of American Christians believe in literalism: that's wise.

ALMIGHTY GOD says atheist are FOOLS!!!

That man is a fool who says to himself, “There is no God!” Anyone who talks like that is warped and evil and cannot really be a good person at all.Psalm 14:1===Only a fool would say to himself, “There is no God.” And why does he say it? Because of his wicked heart, his dark and evil deeds. His life is corroded with sin. PSALM 53:1 and you???
