A Biblical Worldview

I read this morning that only 9% of born again Christians have a Christian worldview. That is correct, less than 1 in 10 of born again Christians. Why is it?
First there is an epidemic of Biblical illiteracy. In many churches there is no Biblical preaching or teaching but we cannot blame our leaders completely. They are only teaching or preaching what people want to hear. I know that some who call themselves born again have a humanistic point of view.
Do Christians really know what the Bible teaches regarding homosexuality, abortion, and other issues including missions, finances, family values, etc.
I have even heard that there are people who call themselves born again who believe in evolution. My question to them is what are they born again from? If we are evolutionists then there is not original sin so we don't need a Saviour but a therapist.
We need the Bible to be central in our churches. Biblical illiterates are not going to have a Biblical worldview.
