The new Barna Update states:
"It is hard to miss Americans' comfort with and interest in spirituality. Most adults say that their religious faith is very important in their life. Two-thirds of the nation’s adult population firmly embraces the idea that their most important purpose is to love God with all their heart, mind, soul and strength. However, a deeper look at people’s full array of spiritual beliefs and behavior calls into question the sincerity of their commitment."
For example:
- The study shows that of ten activities studied, Americans are most likely to pray. More than four out of every five Americans (83%) said they had prayed in the last week.
But:
- Few adults possess orthodox views about Jesus. For example, just one-third of Americans strongly disagree that Jesus sinned (37%).
Barna has tracked the nation’s religious behavior and beliefs since 1984.
