The Cultural Research Center (CRC) at Arizona Christian University conducted an online poll of 1,000 adults November 4-16 last year and found that the socialist policies being ushered in by President Joe Biden are opposed by most American adults. The new commander-in-chief has done that via an unprecedented number of executive orders since taking office on January 20 – and more anti-capitalist policies are expected from his administration.
“Support for socialism in the United States is at its lowest level in years – with less than a third of all American adults (32%) preferring socialism to capitalism in the wake of the 2020 election – after reaching a peak of 41% of U.S. adults only two years earlier,” CRC reported.
“The 9% decline among U.S. adults since 2018 represents more than 20 million fewer preferring socialism over capitalism, [as] a two-thirds majority (68%) said they prefer capitalism to socialism (more than 170 million adults), [while] one-third – about 80 million Americans – prefer[ring] socialism is significant, despite the overall decline in support for socialism nationwide.”
Socialism – a godless system
Last September, a separate CRC study found that 98% of American adults who support socialism stand against a biblical worldview, but Len Munsil, president of Arizona Christian University, is encouraged by the November findings.
“[The survey shows that having a biblical worldview] is the best defense against embracing socialism,” Munsil observed from the latest findings. “[The waning interest in socialism means that] minds can be changed in the cultural debate of socialism versus capitalism. Our students are challenged to engage seriously with the moral and Scriptural arguments for the free market, and to look critically at the ideas and consequences of socialism.”
CRC found that a majority of American adults championing socialism support big federal government taking over many aspects of their lives:
- Reducing racial discrimination via legal means – 62%
- Providing universal healthcare insurance – 59%
- Restoring financial solvency to Social Security and Medicare – 55%
- Redistributing wealth – 52%
- Establishing more stringent environmental standards – 50%
Not surprisingly, the youngest group of American adults surveyed (30 and younger) represent the smallest dip (from 48% to 43%) in those who support socialism, while the largest decline was among those aged 30-49 (from 49% to 34%), with those 50 and older dropping from 30% to 23%.
A Christian worldview makes a world of difference
CRC’s survey showed that adults least likely to approve of socialism were found among Christian groups.
“Those with a biblical worldview – identified as ‘integrated disciples’ – were least likely to support socialism (only 12%),” CRC researchers disclosed. “Similarly, SAGE Cons (i.e., Spiritually Active Governance Engaged Conservative Christians) also showed only 12% support for socialism, [while] support for socialism among self-identified Christians was 30% – down 9 percentage points since June 2018 – [and] about one-third (32%) of born-again Christians expressed support for socialism – down only slightly from 35%.”
With socialism being firmly rooted in atheistic communist principles, CRC researchers were not shocked to find that non-believing American adults were the biggest proponents of socialist policies in U.S. politics.
“Those of non-Christian faith saw the greatest increase in support for socialism, from 38% to 44%,” researchers pointed out. “[S]piritual skeptics demonstrate the most volatility when it comes to socialism, [with] more than half (51%) of spiritual skeptics embraced socialism over capitalism in early 2018, but that number dropped by 16 percentage points to 35%, in the wake of the 2020 election.”
CRC director of research Dr. George Barna stressed that those who remain ignorant about the destructive nature of socialism could bear the tragic consequences of it, like millions of others around the world – present and past – who already have.
“[Uninformed Americans must] better understand the meaning and long-term implications of socialism before substantial systemic changes are made,” Barna warned. “Transitioning from capitalism to socialism would be a major, life-changing choice that would have dramatic consequences and far-reaching impacts on the health and well-being of our country and its people, yet, because they are inadequately educated on these matters, many people are easily swayed by superficial, tangential or emotional arguments.”
Survey results also showed that political liberals were most likely to support socialism over capitalism (54%), along with Democrats (54%), followed by those not voting in the 2020 election (43%), and adults under 30 (43%).
On the other hand, U.S. adults who are least likely to favor socialism over capitalism are those supporting a biblical worldview (12%), political conservatives (21%), and those aged 50 and older (23%).

Christianity is the moral fabric of a Country. Those that want socialism / communism are the fools who have no sense of common sense, they have no sense of reality or logic. These are the same clowns who are liars, bull artists, racebaiters, criminals, hypocrites, drug addicts and drama queens. These people may have more money than I have, and some of these people are smarter than I am, but they are sheep and they are dumb in everyday life and I am not!
If not for Christianity there would not be an America.
Columbus based the round world concept upon the Book of Isaiah.
The Mayflower Compact was a plan to build a civilization on Christianity.
Every ivy league college in America was founded by preachers.
Socialism built none of this. Godlessness contributed nothing.
We are One Nation Under God. God has blessed America abundantly. It wasn’t because we were smarter, stronger, or more deserving.
God honors the nation that honors Him.
Think about it. The highest number of pro socialism are those freshly out of our communist indoctrination, “higher education” institutions. After a few years of being on their own, making their own money, and seeing the government taking almost half of what they earn, they suddenly wake up and become pro American capitalism. Unless they still reside in their parent’s basement.
“If you’re not liberal when you’re young, you have no heart. If you’re not conservative when you’re older, you have no brain.”
Another reason why Democrats hate Churchill
How do you change a country’s culture—
change it from a capitalist system to a government controlled socialistic society.
Here is the playbook, and so far, the “Socialist Democrat Party State” appears to be making a lot of progress.
1. Healthcare — Control healthcare and you control the people.
2. Welfare — Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income).
3. Education — Take control of what people read and listen to — take control of what children learn in school.
4. Religion — Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools.
5. Class Warfare — Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor.
This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.
6. Debt — Increase the debt to an unsustainable level.
7. Gun Control — Remove the ability for the people to defend themselves from the Government.
8. Poverty — Increase the poverty level as high as possible.
Poor people are easier to control and will keep socialists in power if they are providing everything for them to live.
Does this look like the tactics of the Democrat Party??
The operable question is “What Would Jesus Do.”
Healthcare – Trust your foreign educated doctor, or trust the great healer and son of man?
Education – Read you scriptures and learn what part of the body of Christ you were designed to be, or go to university and be shown how to be the back end of the deformed God Government backfiring organ of Constitutional constipation.
Religion – Live in the image of your creator and live, or live in the image of the great Consumer. And get consumed.
Class warfare – Believe God historically favors a chosen people i.e. the ones that act to fulfill his designed intentions who are rewarded according to their faith and deeds, or believe all men are entitled to declare they are gods unto themselves and redesign themselves into failed entities who must live off the means earned by others.
Debt – Believe that empty bag cannot stand upright and that God designed people who create abundance that can be shared with less fortunate, or believe god government has a right to make people equally poor by discouraging abundance and the will to excel by stealing/redistributing not only other’s abundance, but basic needs to live.
Poverty – God owns it all, just lets us use it for a while, or Government owns everything.
The nation that forgets god will be turned into hell, that’s in the Bible, yes the
one taken out of our schools, the one that evil hates. Just ask any of the
62,000,000 aborted babies what they experienced and what God thinks
about it all. Dark days ahead……….William……….Pray!!!
