“Americans who attend church services online may be more likely to read the Bible at least once a week than those who go to in-person services, according to the findings of a survey. …

The American Bible Society released the seventh chapter of its State of the Bible 2023 report Thursday, titled ‘Bible Use and Technology.’ …

The latest installment of the report examines the frequency and methods of Bible use in the U.S., finding that 39% of those surveyed meet the criteria of a ‘Bible user,’ meaning they read the Bible independently in setting other than at a large church service at least three or four times a year.

Twenty-five percent of respondents are ‘weekly users’ who consult the Bible outside of church at least once a week, with 9% using it daily. Meanwhile, 38% of U.S. adults ‘never‘ use the Bible outside of a church setting. …

When asked about their Bible use method, most Bible users (69%) consult a print Bible at least once a month, while one-half (50%) use a Bible app on at least a monthly basis.

Regarding Bible reading every once in awhile I post this chart. I'd say a true Christian who has access to the Bible must be in the top two categories with the exception that one is a new Christian who hasn't been able to read the Bible thru once yet. Even when I was a boy (before I formally invited Christ into my life) I read the Bible thru a time or two. But then again maybe I was a Christian being called by God at that point already and just did not realize it yet. Otherwise, I cannot understand anyone claiming Christ in their lives and yet be in the other categories other than the top two. Notice the correlation between the Op's statement with 9% using it daily with the "more than once" category of the pie chart. If a person reads the Bible daily, unless they read the same stuff over and over, they have to get through it several times in their lifetime.
