A headline from an article by a Christian leader quotes a specific number of Christians in the U.S., saying it’s the key to the upcoming presidential election. But is this number accurate? And what’s the truth about our current Christian cultural influence?
Dr. George Barna, director of the Cultural Research Center at Azusa Christian University and author of 60 books, helps us understand whether we are succumbing or shaping society as Christ’s ambassadors, plus determining how many of us there really are.

Barna’s most recent project is a no-holds-barred, realistic, objective and honest assessment of data that many watchmen on the wall believe God is giving us to wake us up in this critical time. He’s informing and inspiring us to be salt, holding back decay plus awakening authentic Christ-followers to be informed influencers and change agents—before it’s too late.
We need urgency, so he’s exposing counterfeit Christians and an evangelical exodus, as many pastors avoid addressing hot-button issues while church attenders enjoy sermons about books of the Bible but don’t apply the Scriptures to address extremely serious issues accelerating America’s moral decline.
How we desperately need this kind of brutal honesty today. U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement released its recent findings that 450,000 unsupervised criminal aliens are now in the U.S., including 13,000 convicted or accused of murder. The media avoids or downplay these shocking figures, causing masses to treat open borders as no big deal when the situation is having a disastrous effect on our society. And how we need accurate stats on the actual number of Christians in America so we can measure their real impact in elections.
An Accurate Assessment
Major media polling tells us about 40% of America’s adult population (representing about 90 million votes) is “Christian.” Barna research shows that figure is inflated—it’s actually around 10% (representing maybe 30 million votes).
