A poll measuring
beliefs about the Bible, found that approximately 28 percent of Americans
believe the Bible is the literal word of God. This is down from a poll
conducted in the late 1970’s where approximately 40 percent of Americans believed
the bible to be the literal word of God.
Disturbingly it seems
one in five Americans see the Bible in secular terms, which was described in
the poll as ancient “fables, legends, history, and moral precepts recorded by
man.”
Barley half of Americans
(47 percent) belief the bible to be the “inspired” word of God.
