In a sign of the times, a new Gallup poll reveals that American’s professed belief in God, heaven, hell, angels, and the devil, have all fallen to new record levels since the service began tracking these beliefs.
Statista summarized the data results and provided an infographic:
Belief in God, heaven, hell, angels and the devil is slowly falling in the United States, according to Gallup data. While most U.S. Americans still believe in each of the religious entities, they have all seen a downward trend of between three to five percentage points in the past seven years. When looking back to the turn of the millennium, a more pronounced trend can be seen, with belief in God having fallen from 90 percent of respondents in 2001 to 74 percent in 2023, while belief in heaven slid from 83 percent to 67 percent in that time.
A closer look at the data shows that frequent churchgoers, Protestants and Republicans are the most likely groups to say they believe in the polled entities. Women were also slightly more likely than men to believe in God, angels, heaven and hell, while both sexes were tied over their belief in the devil.
Gallup has polled respondents on their belief in God using slightly different wording over the years, which produces slightly different results each time.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
These numbers are of course highly inflated. Sure, one may SAY he believes, but in what is manifested is another. Talk is cheap: actions speak louder then words.
[8] For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: [9] (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) [10] Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. [11] And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. [12] For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. Ephesians 5:8-12
Be that as it may, as seen in that passage, and myriad of other likes it, not only are those good works that are supposed to be there that accompany salvation, it stands as a testimony to the world. You are to live by example; and it is for that reason why the United States is DEAD in every aspect, because the secular world has an infinite supply of ammunition of hypocrisy and abomination they can use against a professing Christian, as to why they do not believe in ‘x, y, and z.’
Beit so, this is another barometer and sign of the times we are living in that demonstrates just how much this country has fallen is totally dead, plucked up from the roots.
[3] For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; [4] And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 2 Timothy 4:3-4
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

1)Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2)That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3)Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2 Thessalonians 2:1-3
These verses also debunk the phony revivals or revival in general. So many falling away, already two people who I thought were KJB believers have fallen away and/or turned out to be false!
Precisely. All these blind billy goats out there running around claiming revival, and yet every statistic continues to show that everything is falling off of a cliff.
Anybody who believes in revivals, they might as well believe in Santa Claus.
True
And “if” they read a Bible, 9 out 10 times it’s an diluted translation, so they are mislead and totally lost! They are more worried about the planet, their phone and other nonsense. Revival, if they read an KJV 1611 Bible than they would know that that is not going to happen.
In due time, all of these stubborn, bullheaded unbelievers will believe.
Romans 14:11
For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
Amen!
