The United States has a significantly more favorable view of the Bible and Christianity than other countries that comprise the notoriously secular parts of the world, according to a new report.

The American Bible Society has released the second chapter of its State of the Bible: USA 2025 report. The information in the chapter, titled “The Bible Around the World,” is based on responses collected from 91,000 people in 85 countries as part of the Patmos World Attitudes Bible Survey. The survey was a collaborative effort between the American Bible Society and British and Foreign Bible Society.
