Had you read closer you'd have noticed that the exact quote has a wording issue:
One-third of Americans hold that the Bible is the actual word of God."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

Originally posted by seer View PostYet Jim, 70% believe that Christ is the Son of God? If you look at the actual study, 30% believe it is the literal word of God, about 40% believe it is inspired but not necessarily literal. That gets us to the 70%. So 2/3 don't believe it is bunk.

Originally posted by seer View PostJim, my last link was not from the Federalist, it was a link to the actual Harvard study. So no, two thirds of the country don't think the Bible is bunk. Again, 30% believe it is the literal word of God, about 40% believe it is inspired but not necessarily literal.

Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostJim sort of has a point. The thrust of the article appears to be that the intensity of Christianity in America is increasing. In other words, the number of devout Christians is increasing, while the group consisting of less devout Christians is being increasingly lost to either devout Christianity or no religious affiliation - with more of them going to the latter rather than the former.
