Report: Evangelicals Make Up Smaller Share of U.S. Pop. than Commonly Thought

 Evangelicals make up a far smaller share of the United States population than expected due to a musunderstanding of the term, a new research report states, finding that the lack of a uniform biblical worldview among Evangelicals has negative implications,  the Christian Post website reports today (August 18, 2024). 


The Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University, led by longtime Evangelical pollster George Barna, released the fourth installment of its American Worldview Inventory 2024 last week. 


The report concluded that "Evangelicals are fewer in number than typically reported , often are far less biblical in their thinking than one might assume, and tend to vote in a far fewer number than expected. 


The data in the report is based on the American Worldview Inventory,  a survey of 2,000 adults conducted by  Arizona Christian University in January 2024. The Cultural Research Center estimates that Evangelicals constitute  10%  of adults in the U.S. , between 20 and 30 million people.
