Two polls are showing that Americans are moving away from their Judeo-Christian roots.
The Christian Post reports that a Gallup poll finds that for the first time, less than half of Americans say religion is very important to them. At the same time, pollster George Barna of Arizona Christian University's Cultural Research Center says that only 4% of Americans overall have a biblical worldview.
Both polls find the loss is more accelerated with younger Americans. The university survey shows that 1% of Gen Z adhere to a biblical worldview, while a senior editor at Gallup says that “younger adults are both less likely to identify with a religion and less likely to attend services.”
Dr. Richard Land of Southern Evangelical Seminary says the results are not a shock to him.
“I don't think anybody who's been living in America is surprised that there are more worldviews out there, including pagan ones, and that fewer and fewer Americans have what we would call a Judeo-Christian worldview,” says Land.
