Whoa... beware the stats...

Quote The Office for National Statistics’ new Integrated Household Survey, which collects the views of 420,000 people, found that 69 per cent of people in Britain said they were Christian.

Nearly nine in ten over-65s are Christian. But even in the least religious age group, 25 to 34-year-olds, more than half – 55 per cent – profess Christianity.

Fifty-nine per cent of 16 to 24-year-olds and 60 per cent of under-16s said they were Christian.

I was never asked to complete this survey.

The only survey that counts is the Census as it asks everyone.

Best regards,
Vulcan.

Good pointy point there.

420,000... There are 60 million in the UK I believe.
 
And anything form the Daily Fail should be treated with suspicion.

I dont know why its such a exact number but it wasnt the daily mail that did the actual survey BUT i did notice they claim only 1.5% of people are gay....4.8% chose not to answer which maybe says alot haha

We all love the daily fail really, and the comments under their articles are usually hillarious

Would be interesting to know how many people class themselves as English instead of British today too.

"Theres probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life."

Couldn't agree more, although I would say, "there is almost certainly no God..."

Indeed, but he did say almost certainly. The religious say definitely is.
