A newly released national study by the American Bible Society finds that while Bible reading and engagement in the U.S. have declined from last year's levels, openness to the Bible has grown significantly, with 9 million more Americans expressing interest in its message since 2024, the Christian Daily website reports today (April 20, 2026).
The findings come from the first chapter of the organization's 2026 State of the Bible report, published April 9, which analyzes Americans' attitudes toward Scripture,faith practices, and church involvement. The report shows that 28% of U.S. adults now fall into what researchers call the "Movable Middle" -- those who are curious about the Bible but not deeply engaged -- marking a notable increase over the past two years.
The proportion of Americans considered "Scripture Engaged" has returned to about 17%, similar to levels recorded two years ago.
