The Christian Post reports: “A new survey has found that more than half of Americans do not believe God exists or that He ‘affects lives,’ prompting one prominent researcher to highlight the need for ‘sweeping national repentance and spiritual renewal.’ 

The Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University released the second installment of its American Worldview Inventory 2025 on Wednesday. 

The research found that overall, 60% of Americans do not believe God exists or that He ‘affects lives.’ Nearly half of self-identified Christians (47%) and a slightly smaller share of theologically identified born-again Christians (40%) said the same. 

George Barna, director of research at Arizona Christian University, said of the findings, ‘The more time you spend thinking about what this research tells us, the more you are likely to conclude that nothing short of sweeping national repentance and spiritual renewal can save America from itself.’…”
