Pew Research Center – Psalm 119: 38

By Michael Lipka and Benjamin Wormald

Mississippi, Alabama and other Southern states are among the most highly religious states in the nation, while New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont and Maine in New England are among the least devout, according to some of the key measures used to determine levels of religiosity in the Pew Research Center’s most recent Religious Landscape Study.

To begin, select a state to see where it ranks in terms of overall religiosity. In exploring the interactive it is important to keep in mind that differences between two states may not always be statistically significant due to the margins of error that are inherent in this survey data.

“But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall a away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons….” I Tim. 4:1

From the December 2017 data we can see that 60% of self-identified American Christians hold to at least one of four New Age beliefs. The four are astrology, psychics, reincarnation, and spiritual energy in physical objects like trees and mountains. If all of the New Age beliefs would of been included in the survey instead of just these four, I am afraid the percentage would be much higher. The seducing spirits are taking many captive. I hope the born again Christian is paying attention to the signs of the times.

“Many Will Come In My Name”

“And Jesus answered and said to them,“ See to it that no one misleads you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many.” Matthew 24:4-5

“Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold.” Matthew 24: 11-12

“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or ‘There He is,’ do not believe him. For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. Behold, I have told you in advance.” Matthew 24:23-25

“For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness…” 2 Cor 11:13-15

“Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.” Matthew 7:15
