‘Just like in the days of Noah’: American belief in God drops to new low

June 18, 2022 | | Print Article

With the ascendance of wicked leftist ideology in a nation awash in decadence, crime and perversion where it is acceptable practice to subject small children to transgender strippers doing the bump and grind at drag queen events, some may feel that America has been allowed to drift away from its religious moorings and a new Gallup poll would seem to offer confirmation of that idea.

According to data compiled by the nation’s premier polling organization, belief in God among Americans has dropped to the lowest level since it began asking the question during World War II, a sobering revelation at a time when immorality is viewed as a virtue and Christian values are under constant attack from the government, the media and an entertainment industry that specializes in pumping out product that glorifies violence and sexual degeneracy.

While the poll shows that an overwhelming majority still does believe in God with 81 percent responding in the affirmative, the number represents a distinct downward trend since the question was last asked five years ago, dropping six percentage points from 2017 and way down from a consistent high of 98 percent in polls conducted from the 1940s to the 1960s.

Responses were made to the simple question of “Do you believe in God?” without any further elaboration in the Gallup Values and Beliefs poll.

According to Gallup’s Jeffrey Jones who broke down the results, liberals and younger people were least likely to believe in God with a 10 percent decline in the 18-29 years old age group, a result, when taken into consideration with other recent polling that has found that the youngest generation also has a positive view of socialism, is grim news for the future of America.

When it comes to the demographic breakdown, those who identify as conservatives unsurprisingly have the greater belief in God with 94 percent responding in the affirmative, down one point from the last poll, while only 62 percent of liberals believe in the Almighty, down 11 percent from the 2017 survey. The numbers broke down similarly between Democrats and Republicans.

In a somewhat surprising result, faith in God is down 7 percent among rural residents although they are still above the overall average.

Twitter users responded to the disturbing poll with many lamenting the nation’s shifting religious values.

Others couldn’t be more delighted that the door has been cracked open for the devil to walk through.

Jones summed it up: “Fewer Americans today than five years ago believe in God, and the percentage is down even more from the 1950s and 1960s when almost all Americans did. Still, the vast majority of Americans believe in God, whether that means they believe a higher power hears prayers and can intervene or not. And while belief in God has declined in recent years, Gallup has documented steeper drops in church attendance, church membership and confidence in organized religion, suggesting that the practice of religious faith may be changing more than basic faith in God.”

  1. Raised by my grandmother, I was a Sunday school and Church attending child and adolescent. I am no longer, however my belief in God, goodness, and the power of a higher being have never been in question. I believe that in a massive number of cases it is the churches themselves have strayed from the word of God, thereby weakening their strength among today’s society. The Bible is still the most important and powerful book every written and it’s teachings as applicable today as when it was first put into written form. But today we watch the hypocrisy of those at the top of many of our Christian organizations. It seems so important to them to adopt the radicalized agenda being pushed by today’s powerful political organizations, that they have completely lost the true meaning behind the religion they are supposed to stand for. Ergo it is understandable that these organizations are declining and losing followers. We have a youth today that, for the most part is atheistic at the least, and radicalized at the worst. But we also have a youth movement that is beginning to question the emptiness of today’s “it’s all about me” lifestyle, and some are questioning their rather empty lives and starting to look for meaning. That’s a good thing, and it’s growing!

  2. When they took GOD and prayer out of schools is when this decline all started. And it’s just going to get worse with what they are teaching kids in school these days…SAVE AMERICA, .HOME SCHOOL YOUR KIDS….if at all possible

    1. It takes parents protecting their children from these “evil” outside influences at a young age to change this. The left understands this, ergo the “war” on parents by the democrats.

  3. And as in the days of Noah, there is a great chastisement coming. The Lord has already sent His Blessed Mother to warn us.

  4. Read your Bible America. When a group turns its back on God he ALWAYS has the last laugh. I pity America when he finally says enough.

  5. I need there to be a God because I need there to be a hell. Because if there’s a hell it warms my heart (pun intended) to think about all of you filthy, soulless liberals burning in agony for eternity.

  6. Whether they deny Gods existence or not, it doesn’t negate his being. Its still just their opinion. Even if the there and then didnt exist, enjoying his presence in the here and now would still be well worth it. After all , existing in his presence is Heaven and theres nothing that is better or more rewarding. No one can take it away from you. Even in extreme torture and pain, his holiness and righteousness , mercy and grace will sustain you. All of this is according to his plan. He also promised to protect us during such times and he will honor his words.

  8. And you know who’s fault it is? GOD’S!!! Just kidding! (Kinda). Although…… I do blame the churches! Starting with the Catholic church. Even my protestant churches have ‘gone astray’. Methodist, Lutheran, probably Baptist churches all have gone ‘woke’ or at least bent to the times. I’m not even counting the Megachurches. Most/ALL of them are just in it for the fame and fortune.
    But it is God’s plan. That’s why I said (kinda). All of this is in the Bible. It’s just either a good thing, or a bad thing, I’m having to live through this… LoL 🤔😎😆

    1. The Lord is separating the wheat from the chaff. Now it is obvious where each soul falls.

    2. I completely agree with your first paragraph! I certainly hope, however that we are not near the end yet.

  9. And the BIG follow-up question is: Which God do you believe in, the God of the Bible or some other god?

  10. The following anecdote is told of William James. […] After a lecture on cosmology and the structure of the solar system, James was accosted by a little old lady.

    “Your theory that the sun is the centre of the solar system, and the earth is a ball which rotates around it has a very convincing ring to it, Mr. James, but it’s wrong. I’ve got a better theory,” said the little old lady.

    “And what is that, madam?” inquired James politely.

    “That we live on a crust of earth which is on the back of a giant turtle.”

    Not wishing to demolish this absurd little theory by bringing to bear the masses of scientific evidence he had at his command, James decided to gently dissuade his opponent by making her see some of the inadequacies of her position.

    “If your theory is correct, madam,” he asked, “what does this turtle stand on?”

    “You’re a very clever man, Mr. James, and that’s a very good question,” replied the little old lady, “but I have an answer to it. And it’s this: The first turtle stands on the back of a second, far larger, turtle, who stands directly under him.”

    “But what does this second turtle stand on?” persisted James patiently.

    To this, the little old lady crowed triumphantly,

    “It’s no use, Mr. James—it’s turtles all the way down.”

    — J. R. Ross, Constraints on Variables in Syntax, 1967[10]

    Turtle world, infinite regress and explanator
    God is what is holding the last turtle, the Eternal Mystery.
