Shockingly Low Share of Americans Have a Biblical Worldview, New Survey Claims
After the shocking assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, some argued that America was having a surprising — but very much welcome — resurgence of conservative Christian faith.
But such narratives do not match the reality in the culture — at least according to one survey from Arizona Christian University.
The school’s Cultural Research Center issued the latest version of its “American Worldview Inventory” on March 3, finding that “any increased interest in the Christian faith spurred by Kirk’s assassination has not produced positive growth when it comes to biblical worldview.”
In both 2023 and 2026, only 4 percent of American adults had a biblical worldview.
By way of comparison, 12 percent of Americans had a biblical worldview in 1994, a figure which dropped to 6 percent by 2020.
The findings were based on a survey of 2,000 adult respondents undertaken in January via phone and online, with a plus-or-minus 2 percentage point sampling error.
Among adults in Generation Z, who are between 18 and 29 years old, only 1 percent have a biblical worldview — a much lower share than the 2 percent of Millennials and 7 percent of Gen X, Baby Boomers, and Seniors who have a biblical worldview.
