God’s standing
NZPA-PA London Less than half of Britain believes there is a God, says a survey of religious attitudes published yesterday. Only 16 per cent of the population went to church in the last week, the survey says. Those who do go to church regularly tend to be the elderly, the upper and middle-classes, Conservative Party supporters, and people living in the suburbs and country towns. Four out of 10 people believe there is a God, says the survey by the Harris Research Centre for Credo, the London Weekend Television current affairs programme. The largest percentage of believers is among Catholics. Skilled workers are least inclined to believe in God, and Labour supporters much less than Conservative and Liberal-Social Democratic Alliance supporters. Among people aged 18-29, 32 per cent say that they are not at all religious.
