no, it isn't made up, it was conducted with the American Bible Society, a reputable group

AnswerBot...you are so close to getting the 10 points, but that is like the other things I have found (press releases with summaries of findings). I'm looking for the full report in pdf (even did an Advanced Google search with pdf results...no luck)

Thanks everyone...I appreciate everyone who has done searches...those are the same results I got. News reports/press releases with a summary of the results.
I'm thinking the full report is not published online.

The important thing to understand here is that statistics can lie. For example, let's say you sample a group of Christian kids and conclude that the Bible is important to them - what would have happened if you sampled a group of people from different religions (or no religion) instead? Or, for example, that survey said that the youth "see links" - what questions exactly were asked? For example, a "biblical truth" might be to "do unto others as you have would them do unto yourself" - sure, that can apply to anyone.
Agreeing with the basic tenets of a religion is not the same as agreeing with the organized religion itself. The overwhelming majority agree with the basic tenets. Who wouldn't believe that "thou shalt not kill", for example?

If you want to see a place where teens take the Bible seriously, look up the Bill Rice Ranch. I went there this summer, and it was one of the most blessed times I have ever had.

Wrong and the society is a liar. The bible contains many lies along with *some* truths.

No, try George Barna. He does a lot of surveys.
