Americans Don't Believe the Bible Anymore - An Epistemological Shift Since 1980

Since 1980, half of American faith has dissipated, as measured by those who believe the Bible is God's Word. The apostasy is metastasizing now. Only 20% of Americans believe the Bible is the Word of God, and only 40% of evangelicals say the Bible is the Word of God (a minority). Partly, they don't like biblical ethics, and partly they prefer science over God's revelation. But, in the process, they jettison all certainty on basic issues.
