Survey Uncovers Troubling Persistence of Low Biblical Worldviews, Igniting Calls for Revival
Faith Facts
- No measurable growth in biblical worldview among Americans post-Charlie Kirk’s death.
- Only 4% of U.S. adults hold a biblical worldview, steady since 2023.
- Arizona Christian University boosts students’ biblical worldview 833% from freshman to graduation.
A nationwide survey reveals no spiritual awakening following the September 10, 2025, assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University.
George Barna’s Cultural Research Center found biblical worldview holders steady at 4%, down from 12% a quarter century ago.
“A quarter century ago, 12% of the adult population held a biblical worldview,” Barna said. “Since then, we have seen a steady reduction in that incidence. We reached a low point—4%—in 2023.”
Barna highlights ACU’s immersive environment transforming students into Integrated Disciples, 28 times more likely than peers.
Emergent Followers dropped to 10% from 25% in 2020, while 85% are World Citizens conflicting with Scripture.
“Make no mistake about it, we are losing American society… because we have succumbed to the influence of the culture instead of the exhortations and promises of God,” Barna warned.
“It is time to reclaim the culture for Christ… With just 1% of Gen Z exhibiting a biblical worldview, the ways of Christ are facing extinction in America unless we act today,” he urged.
This spiritual battle for America’s soul demands parents, churches, and schools prioritize biblical training now to preserve our God-given freedoms.
