Teleios conducted a survey regarding the benefits to a Christian society with 565 responses. The majority of responders were: female (78%), <35 years (67%), from the United States (60%) or Europe (13%), and evangelical (88%). A slight plurality (46%) believed they were living in a Christian based society versus secular (45%). Respondents noted advantages to living in a Christian society, compared to any other type of society (41%) and compared only to a secular society (18%). Participants indicated the top 3 potential advantages of a Christian society were a stronger moral (82%) and ethical base (71%) as well as greater love among people (75%). The advantages noted of a Christian society in relation to government, the top 3 responses were: recognizing the primary biblical role of government to keep order in society (60%); maintaining individual rights, especially freedom of religion and expression (56%); and reducing corruption (54%). In contrast, the greatest potential disadvantage of a Christian society was Christians becoming too complacent with power and forgetting the love of Christ (64%). Participants believed most often Christians could help maintain a balance between preserving freedom and avoiding religious despotism by assuring that the church and individuals are teaching the word of God (60%). IN SUMMARY, the Bible promotes healthy wellbeing not only for the individual, but also encourages healthy government and societal interactions as well! We should be grateful to what God has given us and committed to teaching these truths to others. Read more at https://teleiosresearch.com/benefits-christian-society/
