According to a new report from the American Bible Society, 54% of young adults say the message of the Bible has transformed their lives.
The State of the Bible report found that more Gen Z adults say the Bible has impacted their lives than in 2023, up 4% from the previous year.
That’s fairly surprising news considering most other studies that report Gen Z is the least religious generation yet. According to the American Survey Center, more than one-third (34%) of Gen Z is religiously unaffiliated (“Nones”), a significantly larger proportion than other generations. And it’s not just the lack of religious affiliation that separates Gen Z from other generations. They’re also the most likely to identify as atheist or agnostic.
One thing to note in the ABS study is that the organization only surveyed Gen Zers ages 18 to 27. That means younger Gen Zers could have a major shift on their generation’s religious makeup. Only time will tell.
