Three in five British adults say miracles are possible
#2
RE: Three in five British adults say miracles are possible
Would be interesting to know their sample if they collected that data. Out of about 60/70 people I know on talking terms in RL, around 5 or 6 are religious. 2 Christians and the rest Muslim.

Every single dataset since the 90s, be it BSA surveys or the census, has shown all religious beliefs except Islam and minority BME Christian sects as in steep decline.

But I suppose believing in miracles =/= believing in the rest of the religious guff. Also, as you point out, not really clear what one defines as a ‘miracle’, so interested to know if they have examples.

The 18-24 category surprises me, though I suspect that links more into the growth of ‘spiritualism’ rather than religious conviction.
