The State of Theology study was conducted in 2018 and sponsored by Ligonier Ministries. This is the third time we have conducted the study with Ligonier. We ask Americans about biblical beliefs and heresies to see how many people agree with each.

Summary
The Lifeway Research team discusses American views on whether or not churches must provide entertaining worship services in order to be effective.

• 37% of Americans agree
• Young adults are more likely to agree than disagree that worship services need to be entertaining in order to be effective

The team also discusses American views on whether or not Christians should be silent on issues related to politics.

• 13% of Americans strongly agree
• Among those with evangelical beliefs, 74 percent disagree that Christians should be silent on issues related to politics (62 percent of all Americans disagree)
