• Barna’s Annual Tracking Study http://www.barna.org/

  The 2007 study showed that among the ten activities studied,
  Americans are most likely to pray. More than four out of every five Americans (83%) said they had prayed in the last week.
  This was followed by attending a church service (43%)
  and reading the Bible outside of church worship services (41%).
  Notably, just one-quarter of adults possess an active faith, meaning they engage in all three of these activities (pray, attend church, and read the Bible in a typical week).
  Slightly less than one-quarter of adults had volunteered free time to help a church (22%)
  or some other type of non-profit (23%) in the last week.
  About one-fifth of all adults had attended Sunday school (20%),
  while a similar proportion had participated in a small group for Bible study, prayer and Christian fellowship (19%). The survey showed that half of all adults (50%) said they had donated money to a congregation in the past year.
