Three in four people believe that the UK has become less of a Christian country over the past five years, a new poll has suggested.
Seventy-three per cent of those questioned said that they agreed that Britain had lost some part of its Christian heritage and culture since 2010. Just 15 per cent disagreed.
The poll was commissioned by Christian Concern at the end of March. It found that people were more split on whether Britain’s Christian heritage still mattered.
Forty-seven per cent said that it continued to bring benefits to the country; 32 per cent (including one fifth of those who identified as Christians) said that the UK’s Christian heritage was “largely outdated”.
Good journalistic practice when reporting an opinion poll would require that you mention the size of the sample and the name of the polling organisation. This information may influence how seriously we take the figures. A pity it was not done here.
