If you consider the Barna poll statistics over a very long time, you see that the cluelessness is not merely a artifact of poor survey phraseology (Welcome to The Barna Group!).

While I consider Barna's views dangeous insofar as they have been taken as "Gospel" by too many evangelical pastors (now even leading to foolish notions of dispensing with "church" all together in favor of spiritual life coaching!!!), his skill at running scientifically valid and reliable surveys is pretty well established.
