Cathy Lynn Grossman’s March 6, 2012 USA Today article explores a recent American Bible Society survey that finds “more Americans would follow Donald Trump’s financial wisdom than the Bible’s.” Half of those surveyed (50%) would follow Trump’s counsel while only around a third (32%) would take advice from the Bible.
So What?
The Bible, however, did receive favorable treatment from those who do not currently follow its teachings: roughly a quarter (24%) of those “who do not follow what the Bible says about money think they would have more money if they followed its advice.”
- What is your initial reaction to learning that far more people trust in Trump than in the Bible for financial wisdom?
