New research from Barna about American faith and worldview shows that only 51% of Americans believe in the most basic biblical attributes of God, down from 73% three decades ago.
Americans are more confident about the existence of Satan than they are of God, with 56% contending that Satan is an influential spiritual being, yet almost half (49%) are not fully confident that God truly exists. 44% of Americans believe Jesus Christ sinned while on Earth.
52% said that ‘the Holy Spirit is not a living entity, but merely a symbol of God’s power, presence or purity’.
