Survey: Faith, Bible Not Essential to Good Parenting
Advertisements [?]
A LifeWay Research survey reveals that most parents, even evangelical Christians, don’t view using the Bible and faith as essential elements of good parenting.

Surveyors contacted 1,200 parents with children under 18. Only around 14 percent equated having success in life with having a relationship with God. When asked what they hope for their children, parents’ common responses were children having good values (25 percent), happiness in adulthood (25 percent), success in life (22 percent).

Twenty-nine percent of self-identified Christians said faith was not among the most important influences on their parenting.
