“Biblical worldview” needs to be defined. I suspect there are a lot of interpretations for what it means, and that many Christians are wary of signing on to the term without better clarity.

I like to point out that Americans as a group make a distinction between “ethics” and “morality” not found in the dictionary.

They think of ethics as obeying the written law, so it is an objective thing. But “every church has its own morality.”

For example, a lot of Democrat politicians will always describe themselves as “moral”, even scoundrels like Bill Clinton. And he can likely find any number of leftist clergy that will agree with his definition. But nobody is going to assert that he was “ethical”.

In any even, back to the original statement, what is the definition of “Biblical worldview?” Until that is clearly defined, it would probably be unwise to say you embrace it.

On the one hand it’s a far cry from the many who claim to be Christians.

OTOH those are good strict standards and it’s encouraging that so many are so solid.

Plenty of work to do :). Let’s get busy brothers

Also- I doubt they surveyed such survey resistant groups as the Amish and Mennonites and etc. so I think we are little better than six percent.

Welcome to the 6%.

Well God does love them as they are but does want them to change. He knows on our own that is impossible. At the same time He loves us even while sinmers because He sees us through the blood of Jesus, and because of that we believers who trust in the Good News, are able to have fellowship with Him.

How would anyone know a ‘biblical worldview’ when the Heavenly Father said HE was going to send a ‘famine’ of hearing the WORD of the LORD?

Amos 8 whole chapter but in particular verse 11

11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord:
