For instance, people who read the Bible regularly were more than twice as likely as those who do not to have undergone faith-based transformation, and the same pattern was true among those who attend a church regularly compared to those who do not.

17% of those surveyed said that faith made no difference in their life and this number was up to 35% for those under 25. Southeners were most likely regionally to cite a transformative faith with 63% of Southern adults responding that their faith has greatly transformed their life (Compared to a low of 39% in the Northeast).
