A new national survey is shedding light on how Americans think about God — and the results may surprise many people of faith.
The Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University found that only 50% of American adults describe God as “the all-powerful, all knowing, perfect, and just Creator of the universe who rules that universe today.”
CRC Director Dr. George Barna commented on the significance of the findings, saying, “The idea that the God of the Bible is the sole, omnipotent, Creator deity is no longer the dominant theological view of Americans, as it was until shortly after the start of the new millennium.”
The results point to a notable change in religious belief across the country over the past two decades, with the traditional Christian understanding of God now held by only about half the population.
