Record low see Bible as 'literal' word of God; record high view it as 'fables, legends'
Fewer Americans than ever say that they believe that the Bible should be taken literally, while a record number of Americans now say they view the holy book as a compilation of "fables, legends, history and moral precepts recorded by man," according to a Gallup poll.
One in five Americans surveyed said the Bible is the "actual word of God, to be taken literally," about half off from the high point in 1984. The survey also shows that as fewer Americans are ranking religion as "very important," the number of those who believe the Bible came directly from God decreases.
At the lowest point in 1980, just 10% of Americans said they viewed the Bible as fables recorded by man. That number has nearly tripled to 29%, according to the Gallup survey released Wednesday.
