How pervasive is the Christian faith in American culture? We know that four out of ten adults read the Bible in a typical week, four out of ten attend a church service, eight out of ten pray to God, two out of ten attend a small group, and one out of four attend a Sunday school class. But what about the Christian media? In our latest survey we found:

· More adults use Christian mass media in a typical month than attend a church service.

· A majority of adults listened to some type of Christian radio programming during the prior month.

· Almost half of all adults watched some type of Christian TV programming during the prior month.

· One-third of all adults read a Christian book other than the Bible in the past month.
