The results are very understandable. The God of the bible comes across to today’s snowflakes as “mean,” while the god they prefer never fails to give them what they see as a well-deserved pat on the back.

“Of college graduates surveyed, only 45% believe in the Biblical God. “

Colleges are so biased against Christianity it’s not surprising that it creates this decline.

[Our Members Are Less Educated – Of those who have a high-school education or less, 94% say they believe in God as described in the Bible. But, as our collective educational level increases, our collective belief decreases. Of college graduates surveyed, only 45% believe in the Biblical God. ]

Exposure to Communist college professors.

Also this so-called “less educated” meme plays right into the lefts narrative. It needs to stop. “Education” takes many forms.

What really annoys me is that college professors, who are supposed to be intelligent, accept a less intelligent way of thinking. And then claim it’s more intelligent.

well, one day all will find out whether or not God is God, and Jesus is the Christ.

Some will be overwhelmed with joy. Sadly, others will be overwhelmed with shame and regret.

I don't need a Pew study to give me a morale booster.

I know my Redeemer lives, and I will stand with Him one day.

You either believe in God, or think you are god. Same as always.

The problem I see with this survey is that the survey centers on the belief in the “Biblical God.” That phrase is pretty broad and open to some legitimate debate.

Does a “Biblical God” have a bunch of human qualities some of the time, and yet is far above human foibles at other times and as described in the different Books of the Bible? Do descriptions in some Books or Testaments trump descriptions in others, or is God a hodgepodge of all the descriptions?

We will all know someday.

“Of college graduates surveyed, only 45% believe in the Biblical God.”

Probably young, inexperienced, and fairly unchallenged in terms of life issues.

We are importing large numbers of people who do not believe in the God of the Bible.

So why would the decline be surprising?

If you go back and re read the book of Exodus in the Old Testament one thing stands out. The people are instructed to tell their sons and their sons sons the great things God has done for them. The retelling of the past brings both gratitude for the things God has done and the wisdom to understand why. We don’t do this much any more in churches or society as a whole if we don’t return to this practice the Republic will fall at some point,

Adults believe what they are taught as children.

When the godless leftists and liberals were handed the keys to the schools and pre-school the handwriting was on the wall.

They will believe when they stand in front of God on their judgement day. However, by then it will be too late.

I remember a long time ago that a politican’s aide corrected when I said I am a Christian. He said it’s better to say you spiritual.”

Less educated? No: less propagandized.

A college degree alone is not evidence of one’s level of education.

Was Abraham Lincoln uneducated.

This kind of implicit elitism only strengthens the enemy.
