Disappointing Study: Stunning Number of Americans Don’t Hold a Biblical Worldview

A new study by longtime evangelical Christian researcher George Barna finds that 94% of Americans do not hold a biblical worldview.

The study found that the most common worldview among Americans (88%) might best be termed syncretism, said Barna, describing it as a “disparate, irreconcilable collection of beliefs and behaviors that define people’s lives.”

Barna’s American Worldview Inventory was conducted by the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University, which Barna directs.

“Syncretism is a cut-and-paste approach to making sense of life,” he explained. “Rather than developing an internally consistent and philosophically coherent perspective, Americans embrace points of view or actions that feel comfortable or most convenient. Those beliefs and behaviors are often inconsistent, or even contradictory, but few Americans seemed troubled by that.” . . .

“Most people seem more interested in living a life of comfort and convenience,” he noted. “The progress will be slow, but people who are willing to fight for a more reasonable way of thinking and acting can make a difference.” (Read more from “Disappointing Study: Stunning Number of Americans Don’t Hold a Biblical Worldview” HERE)
