For the purposes of the research, a biblical world view was defined as believing that absolute moral truths exist; that such truth is defined by the Bible; and firm belief in six specific religious views. Jesus Christ lived a sinless life. God is the all-powerful and all-knowing Creator of the universe and He still rules it today. Salvation is a gift from God and cannot be earned. Satan is real. A Christian has a responsibility to share their faith in Christ with other people, and the Bible is accurate in all of its teachings.

The research indicated that everyone has a world view, but relatively few people have a biblical world view – even among devoutly religious people. The survey discovered that only 9% of born again Christians have such a perspective on life. The numbers were even lower among other religious classifications: Protestants (7%), adults who attend mainline Protestant churches (2%) and Catholics (less than one-half of 1%). The denominations that produced the highest proportions of adults with a biblical world view were non-denominational Protestant churches (13%), Pentecostal churches (10%) and Baptist churches (8%).
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13-14
