According to a new Gallup poll, the majority of those polled believe the Bible is a book of myths and fables. “This is the first time in Gallup’s four-decade trend that biblical literalism has not surpassed biblical skepticism.” Paul Bedard of Washington Examiner has the story:
A record low percentage of Americans believe that the Bible is “actual word of God,” with more calling it a “book of fables,” similar to Aesop’s, according to a new survey.
Gallup reports that just 24 percent believe the Bible should be taken “literally, word for word.”
