The Barna Group does some excellent work on researching faith attitudes in America. Their reports are usually sobering, because much of America believes in something, but is not sure what that something is. Here is a great example (click here for full article). 77% of Americans claim to belong to Christianity, yet of that same population:
60% don't believe in the existence of Satan
55% think a good person can work their way into heaven
44% believe Jesus sinned while in His earthly ministry
Only half identify theselves as “absolutely committed” to the Christian faith
Sobering news. On the other hand, compared to Europe we live in a Christian utopia. It is about time that Africa, South America and Asia start sending Christian missionaires to Germany, France and England! Turn about is indeed fair play.
