Gallup -- Record Few Americans Believe Bible Is Literal Word of God
I would probably answer that the Bible is the inspired word of God, but could see where I could answer literal word as well. Probably depends on what I feel is their intentions in the question. And it doesn't surprise me, if this is in decline in the US. Cultural Christians are falling off and it's becoming less popular in that way.
There are a number of reports that the faithful Christians are growing stronger. New Harvard Research Says U.S. Christianity Is Not Shrinking, But Growing Stronger Not that my choice is based on popularity.
It is the rise of secularist views on the Bible (the "myths & legends" group) that impresses me.
