Apr 10: Confused by Christianity?
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".
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!"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".
