In the American Worldview Inventory 2025-26, veteran researcher George Barna presents startling findings from his annual nationwide survey, revealing just how far American beliefs have drifted from biblical truth: Only 4% of American adults hold a biblical worldview. Belief in the God of the Bible has fallen from 73% to 40% in the past three decades. Most self-identified Christians embrace salvation by works, alongside grace. Millions of Americans deny their own sin--and most are redefining sin, accelerating moral confusion across generations. And biblical literacy is collapsing--even inside the Church. American Worldview Inventory 2025-26 delivers a dire worldview diagnosis that America's leaders, in the Church and across the nation, can no longer ignore.
