The public view of religion among young people, according to a YouGov poll – well, alright it\u2019s a poll, but \u201d\u00a6 [laughter] the reputation of religion among young people is actually more negative than neutral: 41% \u201d\u201c this was a poll in 2013, when they still got them right \u201d\u201c 41% of 18-24 year olds agreed that \u201creligion is more often the cause of evil in the world\u201d\u009d and only 14% say it is a cause for good.<\/p>\n
The Faith Action Audit reveals something different. It shows the breadth of commitment across the country, the depth of commitment, and above all the strength of experience and good practice. Thanks to Cinnamon [Network] and other bodies like it, this is not mere do-goodery. It is seeking to find best practice and put it into action in the most professional way that can be imagined.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve heard some of the figures, but just a reminder: the faith sector collectively is delivering, according to the audit \u201d\u201c I\u2019ll round it \u201d\u201c 220,000 social action projects, from which 47 million people benefit.<\/p>\n
