A new report from Fusion, based on a survey across 186 universities, found that 12% of non-Christian students engage with the Bible weekly - often through social media. Among Christian students, the number rises to 29%. Half of all students believe the Bible is relevant today; this drops to 32% among non-Christians and 27% among those with no religion. While only 19% of non-religious students believe the Bible is reliable, many still want to explore its teachings. Some find parts of it offensive or contradictory, yet remain intrigued by what it has to say about life and truth in a confusing world. Fusion’s Adam Mitchell-Baker says this interest reveals a deep hunger in students, even amid cultural opposition. In an age of unstable role models, Jesus and the enduring truth of Scripture offer hope and clarity. Fusion’s vision is to put a Bible in the hands of every student in the UK.
