The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.
According to a recent GALLUP poll, only 20% of Americans believe that the Bible is the literal word of God, a historic low. The last time a poll such as this was conducted was in 2017, which found 24% support for biblical literalism. Americans' belief in biblical literalism peaked at 40% in the early 80s, specifically between 1980 and 1984. The study also shows that Americans' perception of the Bible as a collection of "fables, legends, history and moral precepts recorded by man" has increased over time. Almost half, 49%, of America now views the Bible as "inspired" by God, not to be taken literally. The Protestant denomination has the most believers, of which around 30% agree that the Bible is entirely accurate. Only 15% of Catholics agree that the Bible should be taken literally as the word of God. In the 2017 study, it was noted that highly religious people with the least amount of formal education were more likely to believe the Bible word for word. The study, which has been conducted since 1976, indicates an overall decline in the religious attitudes in the US adult population. These include "declines in formal identification with a religion, self-reported membership in a church, self-reported religious service attendance, personal importance of religion, and a decline in belief in God."
