The remaining 8% were not sure what they believe about the existence of Satan. This report is from 2009, the last I could find. I am sure the way America is going, with only 6% of us having a Biblical Worldview and just 37% of Pastors having a Biblical Worldview the stats are much worse on Americans who believe Satan is real here in 2022.
