Across every generation, men have increased their engagement so much that the gap between the sexes has almost been erased, according to the first installment of the 2025 "State of the Bible" report from the American Bible Society.
The annual study, conducted from Jan. 2-21, collected responses from 2,656 adults within all 50 states and the District of Columbia via a 19-minute questionnaire.
