Barna's Religious Findings of 2006: Christians Are Not as "Christian" as They Think

The Barna Group primarily provides research information that is related to religion, specifically Christianity. They also have a slew of other things they do, but all are centered around religion and Christianity. They actually partner with Christian ministries as well as other individuals to be a "catalyst in moral and spiritual transformation in the United States". The leader of the research group is George Barna, who founded the research group with his wife Nancy in 1984. Not to my surprise, the group is based out of California, Ventura to be exact. They have done research for certain groups and companies such as Billy Graham, Catholic Parishes, Ford Motor Company, Walt Disney, Visa, Prudential, and they have also assisted the US Army and Navy on various occasions.

So the Barna Group has compiled a list of "the 12 most significant religious findings in 2006". This is what the Barna Group was able to come up with for 2006:

-A majority of people in America seem to consider themselves to be "deeply spiritual" and their faith in their religion is "very important". However, only 15% of the people that go to a Christian church on a regular basis think that their relationship with God is of top priority. Here's the kicker; the pastors seem to think that at least 70% of the adults in their congregation believe their relationship with God is top priority in their lives. Apparently the pastors need to do a little research.
