The American people don’t believe the Scriputres any more; they have “gay” cousins, brothers, in-law, uncles, nieces, etc. They like to boast of their “tolerance”.
Well, I happen to be an American and I believe the Scriptures are the Word of God. And ... I also know, personally, a number of Christians (most of those around me) who also believe the Scriptures are the Word of God.
It could be you’ll need to go out and search for some real Christian friends, along with going to a “Bible believing church”.

Polls: Most believe Bible as Gods word

More than three-quarters of Americans believe the Bible is literally the word of God or inspired by the word of God, according to a trio of Gallup surveys, with 19 percent saying the Good Book is a compendium of myth and legend.
The three surveys found that an average 31 percent of the respondents said that the Bible is absolutely accurate and should be taken literally word for word, according to Frank Newport, editor in chief of the Gallup Poll.
Forty-seven percent said the Bible was the inspired word of God, and 19 percent said it was a book of ancient fables, history and moral precepts recorded by man.
The breakdown of beliefs has not changed much recently: The average number of people who take the Bible literally, in fact, has remained steady since 1991.
A literal-belief structure, Mr. Newport said, has influenced a number of public issues, including teaching evolution in public schools, same-sex relationships, the role of a husband and a wife in marriage, observance of a day of rest, the idea of men-only clergy and even seemingly unrelated topics such as immigration.
