Of that 70% is a large chunk who never even attend church, who claim to be Christian for reasons unclear to anyone.
It turns out about 27% of Americans[0] read their Bible several times per week, with more than half of those reading it daily.

- asdkhadsj 7y agoTBH I'm actually impressed it's even that high. I'd speculate that the 27% (if self reported) ~~is~~ would be far lower if consistency over a period of time was checked. Regardless, I feel the need to reinforce, this is just human nature, not a comment against christians.
- pwinnski 7y agoThere are many, many social pressures applied in most protestant churches, which contributes to the high percentage. From childhood, kids are told, "read your Bible and pray every day." Human nature is what it is, so even the "every day" crowd likely misses days here and there, but anecdotally, people take this very, very seriously.
