Majority of Christians are found to be Catholics. The biblical of worldview is basedon the infallible Word of God. People who have biblical worldview believes that every quote ofthe Bible, the sacred book of Christian, is entirely true and is the foundation of every actperformed or every word pronounced by that individual.
