Three in five (58 percent) Canadians have read or otherwise engaged with the Bible recently or at some point as an adult, finds a new online survey, adding that while most Canadians (60 percent) have a positive view of the major sacred texts, many are not engaged with those texts.

Cardus, a non-partisan Christian think tank, commissioned Angus Reid to poll over 4,000 Canadians on their faith. The respondents, from the Angus Reid Forum group, included 1,948 self-identified Christians, 211 Muslims, 202 Jews, 88 individuals from other faiths, and 1,567 persons with no religious identity.
