Fewer than one in four Americans (24%) now believe the Bible is "the actual word of God, and is to be taken literally, word for word," similar to the 26% who view it as "a book of fables, legends, history and moral precepts recorded by man." This is the first time in Gallup's four-decade trend that biblical literalism has not surpassed biblical skepticism. Meanwhile, about half of Americans -- a proportion largely unchanged over the years -- fall in the middle, saying the Bible is the inspired word of God but that not all of it should be taken literally.

Nope--raised Catholic, and attended Catholic school through university.

I mean, the Bible clearly isn't meant to be taken literally. If it was, there wouldn't be two, contradictory creation stories, would there? It's a collection of books, written over a long period of time, that includes stories, poetry, proverbs, etc. If you take it literally, you have to tie yourself into knots to make sense of it.

No. Episcopalian. Devout Christian.

No, I look at it metaphorically. Spiritual, not religious.

No. I'm Catholic. The Bible is full of metaphors and analogies.

If so, what religion do you follow (if any)?
