Gallup's latest poll on American's view of the Bible shows some heartening news. 21% of us no longer accept it as anything but a collection of myths and fables. That's up from 10% in the mid-80's. In the meantime, literal belief in the bible has decreased to an all time low of only 28%. The middle view has stayed steady.

Note though the slight growth in religious belief after 2009. I would attribute this to the recession. Gains made against religious belief are very fragile. We still have a tendency to revert to religion in the face of troubled times.
