“The irony of the reshaping of the spiritual landscape in America is that it represents a post-Christian reformation driven by people seeking to retain a Christian identity,” noted Dr. George Barna, Director of Research at the Cultural Research Center. “Unfortunately, the theology of this reformation is being driven by American culture rather than biblical truth."
Among those associated with evangelical churches.:
--44% claim the Bible is ambiguous in its teaching about abortion
--34% argue that abortion is morally acceptable if it spares the mother from financial or emotional discomfort or hardship
--34% reject the idea of legitimate marriage as one man and one woman
--40% accept lying as morally acceptable if it advances personal interests or protect one’s reputation
--39% identify the people they respect as being only those who have the same beliefs as their own
And it's even higher in charismatic and Pentecostal churches.
