		<description><![CDATA[<p>Conservatively interpreted, the surveys show that around 4 per cent of young people read the<br />
Bible daily, another 6 per cent read it weekly, and 15 to 20 per cent read it very occasionally.<br />
About 70 per cent never read it. The frequency of Bible reading is a little greater among older<br />
young people, although this is probably a result of changing history patterns over generations and<br />
not related to age.<br />
Of those who read the Bible daily or weekly, most attend church services and youth activities, such<br />
as a Bible study group. Most also have parents and friends who attend church frequently. Those<br />
who read it frequently are mostly involved in Protestant Evangelical or Charismatic<br />
denominations, such as the Pentecostals, Baptists, Lutherans, Presbyterians, and Seventh-day<br />
Adventists.<br />
