Barna has released its finding on the state of the Bible and included 7 key points in this article

https://www.barna.com/research/state-of-the-bible-2018-seven-top-findings/

1. Half of Americans Are Bible Users
"Overall, about half of Americans are “Bible users”—that is, they engage with the Bible on their own by using, listening to, watching, praying or using Bible text or content in any format (not including use at a church service) at least three to four times a year (48%). Bible use has remained relatively consistent since 2011. Adults who use the Bible daily account for 14 percent of the total adult population, followed by 13 percent who use it several times a week, 8 percent who do so once a week, 6 percent about once a month and 8 percent who use it three to four times a year"



The numbers seemed higher than I expected

I'm shocked that my generation (Generation X) is the lowest in percentage of bible use among all the other generations listed :(
