Respectfully, this isn’t a particularly strong question. If you’re referring to texts like the Bible or Quran, please note that they’re more collections of stories than guidelines and rules and regulations to be followed. You can get poll 100 Christians (or Muslims, for that matter), and ask if they follow their respective book 100%, and still get ‘yes’ replies, even though they all lead vastly different lifestyles. Point is, “abide by 100%” is open to a serious amount of interpretation.
Take a more defined set of rules and regulations, like the vast collection of Army Regulations. An honest to goodness, list of rules and regulations to live by. And somehow, in all that black and white, despite all the lawyers best efforts, soldiers manage to find a lot of grey area. Every day. Two soldiers can read the same rule, live by it 100%, and each live quite differently. Faddish haircuts comes to mind.
Again, unless your goal is just to see how to stir the pot and the variety of answers, this is a question with only opinionated answers and therefore, not verifiable by any means.
Best of luck.
