Americans — including millions who identify as Christians — hold strikingly conflicted beliefs about sin, salvation and the afterlife, according to a new report from George Barna.
A new national study — conducted by the Family Research Council in partnership with the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University — reveals an erosion of biblical conviction among regular U.S. churchgoers.
The research, part of the annual American Worldview Inventory 2025, found that just one out of every seven self-described Christians — just 14% — holds a biblically accurate understanding of sin.
