George Barna has just completed a survey call the God Gap that intends to measure the influence of Christian vote along partisan lines. Interestingly, the differences aren’t that great, with just over half of Christians aligning themselves with Republicans.
On a disturbing note, both party Christians are skeptical about the inerrancy and authority of Scripture, which makes you wonder- what kind of “Christian” influence are these voters having after all?
Republicans were more likely than Democrats to strongly assert that the Bible is accurate in all of the principles it teaches (57% versus 40%); twice as likely to believe Satan is a real spiritual entity (33% versus 17%); more likely to reject the idea that good works can earn salvation (35% versus 23%); and more commonly describe themselves as absolutely committed to Christianity (61% versus 48%).
