Why Don't Most American Christians Believe in the Trinity? Exploring the Results of the Recent Survey



​A recent survey by the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University reveals that only 11% of American adults believe in the Trinity—the concept of one God in three distinct but inseparable and equal persons: God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.  Among self-identified Christians, this belief rises to 16%, and among theologically-identified born-again Christians, it reaches 24%. However, even among Integrated Disciples—those with a biblical worldview—only 62% affirm the Trinity. The survey highlights a broader trend of limited trust in the Bible and a diminished influence of foundational Christian teachings in Americans' lives. George Barna, Director of Research at the Cultural Research Center, expresses concern over this decline, noting that even among groups most aligned with biblical teachings, the belief in the nature and impact of the Trinity remains surprisingly low. ​
