The indisputable cultural decline is a direct result of the spiritual collapse of Christianity in the nation,
says senior researcher Dr. George Barna, Director of Research at the Cultural Research
Center at Arizona Christian University in a newly released report:
“The cultural awareness sparked by the COVID pandemic and the 2024 presidential campaign has led
millions of Americans to realize just how depraved American society has become.
The spiritual collapse of Christianity in America: Corrupt politicians, dishonest journalists and media outlets, broken social institutions, immoral religious leaders, unconstitutional government programs and policies, and more, have generated non-stop headlines highlighting the decadence of American society and the demise of the United States.
Citing data from recent studies from the Cultural Research Center, Barna notes that even cultural analysts not typically inclined to offer spiritual explanations, such as Tucker Carlson,1 have recently arrived at the same conclusion.
In fact, the data strongly suggests that evangelicals are more likely to be shaped by the culture around them than they are to influence or “evangelize” it.
The depth of the depravity is shocking. But the deterioration of this once-great nation begs the fundamental question: How did we get here? What happened to so quickly introduce new philosophies of life and ways of living that radically depart from the historical Judeo-Christian moorings and consensus of America?”
The spiritual collapse of Christianity in America: Most significantly, the research shows that much of this steep cultural decline flows from the dramatic transformation in the evangelical community of the United States in the past 30 years.
In reality, evangelicals are far fewer in number than typically reported, often are far less biblical in their thinking than one might think, and tend to vote in far fewer numbers than expected.

The spiritual collapse of Christianity in America: Although more conservative on moral issues, as a whole evangelicals reflect fewer lifestyle differences from the culture than often thought. Surprisingly, most evangelical do not possess a biblical worldview—only about one-third do.
Compared to the inflated estimates of evangelical Christians consistently provided by the media, a more rigorous estimate based upon survey data from a representative sample of the national adult population provides a more reliable view.
The American Worldview Inventory 2024 indicates that only 10% of adults qualify as evangelicals, using survey data consistent with the NAE description of evangelicals. That projects a national population of 25 to 30 million adults who are actually evangelicals, according to the NAE criteria.
