ChristianToday.com reports: “‘For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.’ So says Paul in his letter to the Romans, and yet recent research has suggested that many professing Christians do not believe this to be true. Or at least, not true of themselves.
According to a report from the American Worldview Inventory 2025, 84 per cent of Americans believe that sin exists, but just over half believe that everyone sins.
Only 52% of American adults are willing to concede that they themselves are sinner, a figure that rises to two thirds among self-described Christians.
A third of adults say that they do not sin, but everyone else does, according to the report which was compiled by the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University.
Among those who describe themselves as born-again Christians, a quarter will not accept being called a ‘sinner’ and 70 per cent believe that people are ‘basically good at heart’.
The research also indicated that age may be a slight factor in the belief in universal sinfulness. Around 41 per cent of Generation Z believe that everyone sins, compared to 49 per cent of Millennials, 53 per cent of Gen X and 57 per cent of Baby Boomers…”
