A biblical worldview, as defined by the Barna study, is believing that absolute moral truth exists; the Bible is completely accurate in all of the principles it teaches; Satan is considered to be a real being or force, not merely symbolic; a person cannot earn their way into Heaven by trying to be good or do good works; Jesus Christ lived a sinless life on earth; and God is the all-knowing, all-powerful creator of the world who still rules the universe today. Of course if you identify numerous specific criteria and you have to agree with each, it would tend to give a very low percent.

You’re not supposed to say that, just swallow the interpretation of the results without question. You are also correct. It is a well established polling method for gnerating the results needed.

True, but which of those isn’t necessary for a biblical worldview?
The point wasn’t that young people aren’t Christians, but merely that even those who are don’t often have a completely biblical worldview.
