Quote from the article:
"George Barna’s recent research on the church in America.1 It reveals that only 21% of evangelical Christians and only 37% of pastors have a truly biblical worldview."
I find the phrase "truly biblical worldview " biased, at best. The ten stipulations of being part of this "truly biblical worldview" are each based on very stringent beliefs that are written like a doctrinal contract. Each of the ten have numerous, specific requirements of belief and practice within.
Instead of saying that "only 21% of evangelical Christians... have a truly biblical worldview," it can just as easily claim that "only 21% of evangelical Christians believe in our custom-made "doctrine."
I'd like to see statistics on how many evangelical Christians "live like Christ," or perhaps, "have the mind of Christ."

Well, fun fact: The Bible has standards. God demands perfection.
Would you prefer the decetiful-by-nature heart (Jeremiah 17:9) and its arbitrary whims instead?

I did not, nor would I ever, critique the Word of God. My comment was completely focused on the critiquing the statistical manipulation and bias.
I do, however, thank you for your sarcastic response. You have certainly mastered that specific "fruit of the Spirit."
But you gave no evidence of "bias", nor did you point out What "bias".
Besides , every humans has bias, even you.
No, it's not " just sarcasm."
The Bible really does have standards. God really does demand perfection.
The heart really is decetiful-by-nature. (Jeremiah 17:9) and its whims really are arbitrary.
