Young Christians engaging with Bible more, survey finds.
(Photo: Getty/iStock)A new report reveals surprising levels of Bible engagement among young people aged 15–30, despite the apparent increase in secularisation.
The Patmos Youth Report, drawn from the larger Patmos World Bible Attitudes Survey conducted by Gallup in partnership with the Patmos Initiative and United Bible Societies, offers one of the most comprehensive looks yet at global attitudes toward Scripture.
Surveying 91,000 people across 85 countries and territories, the study includes data from about 28,700 young respondents.
The report suggests that young Christians (particularly those aged 18–24) are engaging with the Bible more frequently than older generations. Globally, half of Christians in this age group report using the Bible on a weekly basis.
They also demonstrate higher confidence in discussing faith, telling Bible stories, and applying scripture to daily situations.
