Of Americans believe the Bible is in some way connected to God, according to Gallup: “Twenty-eight percent believe the Bible is the actual word of God and that it should be taken literally. This is somewhat below the 38% to 40% seen in the late 1970s and near the all-time low of 27% reached in 2001 and 2009.
