Apr 10: Confused by Christianity?

Decline of Religion
British religion survey reveals that 83% of the population believe the bible is full of lies.

According to a BBC report, a 2017 survey about Easter by ComRes in the UK indicates:

"a quarter of people who describe themselves as Christians in Great Britain do not believe in the resurrection of Jesus".

However:

 "a fifth of non-religious people believe in life after death", the poll suggests.

Well, we are a confused species, aren't we? 

The BBC also summarised the survey:

"17% of all people believe the Bible version word-for-word".

So 83% of the UK population believe the Easter story is a pack of lies!

"31% of Christians believe word-for-word the Bible version, rising to 57% among "active" Christians (those who go to a religious service at least once a month)".

So 69% of all Christians and 43% of "active" Christians do not believe the most crucial Christian doctrine!

"Exactly half of all people surveyed did not believe in the resurrection at all".

"46% of people say they believe in some form of life after death and 46% do not".

"20% of non-religious people say they believe in some form of life after death".

"9% of non-religious people believe in the Resurrection, 1% of whom say they believe it literally".

So that's religion for you. Contradictory. Christian people will pick and choose which bits they want to believe and - so it seems - do some non-religious people!

Above us only sky...

The glory of the 'heavens' above us are real, their starry splendour is visible to those who look up; but the glory of 'Heaven' is a sad delusion of human minds.

"Religion is accustomed to getting a free ride - automatic tax breaks, unearned respect and the right not to be offended, the right to brainwash children."
