Literal belief peaks among evangelical Protestants, and especially among evangelical Protestants who attend church at least once a week. It’s a still-high 85 percent among evangelical Protestants who attend church less often. This is a very human – anthropomorphic – god acting in a very human, non-omniscient way. God is clearly showing a limited knowledge of how his creation would operate going forward – he is being reactive and not proactive.
