Fewer Than One in Four Americans, or 24 Percent, Believe That The Bible is “The Actual Word of God”

What do you think of this?

A majority of U.S. adults and almost a third of evangelicals now say they believe that faith in God is not needed to be a moral person, a survey has revealed.

The Pew Research Center reported on Monday that 56 percent of all American adults surveyed say they don’t think that being a believer is a requirement for someone to be moral and to have good values, which is up from the 49 percent who said the same back in 2011.

Other organizations, such as Gallup, have highlgihted the declining trust in the Bible in America. A survey released by the group in May found that fewer than one in four Americans, or 24 percent, believe that the Bible is “the actual Word of God, and is to be taken literally, word for word.”

A slightly higher 26 percent, on the other hand, argued that the Bible is “a book of fables, legends, history and moral precepts recorded by man.”
