Most American Christians Do Not Believe that Satan or the Holy Spirit Exist

Barna study and youth ministryAnother interesting and startling study from Barna.

According to them, a majority of people in America who call themselves “Christians” do not believe that Satan or the Holy Spirit exists.

In addition, about 22% have what Barna calls a view of God that is inconsistant with biblical teaching (i.e. everyone is god, god refers to the realization of human potential, etc.).

I wonder how these stats would look if we surveyed Christian students?
