The Family Research Council’s Center for Biblical Worldview conducted a nationwide survey in an effort to find out whether people possess a biblical worldview and how they seek to integrate that into their life.
Among the 1,000 American adults, 51 percent said they have a biblical worldview. However, the survey revealed big inconsistencies between what they believe and what the Bible teaches.
The FRC poll conducted during May found:
- 31 percent believe it’s very important for their faith to influence every area of their life.
- 13 percent don’t let their faith influence politics
- 30 percent say politics does affect their faith
And the polling revealed seven out of ten adults believe that God does (or might) exist, 78 percent said that God cares “a lot” about what they believe and does in relation to every measure of society.
A large number of young adults claim to have a biblical worldview, even though data from the American Worldview Inventory shows a sharp contrast. For example:
- 44 percent of Millennials claim a biblical worldview but only 4 percent have one
- 53 percent of Gen Xers say they have a biblical worldview, however, only 6 percent do
- 54 percent of Baby Boomers state they have a biblical worldview when only 8 percent actually do
