Religion 'Cause Of Evil Not Force For Good' More Young People Believe

Ah good old England.

Quote: the YouGov poll for The Sun showed the reputation of religion amongst young people is actually more negative than neutral: 41% agree that “religion is more often the cause of evil in the world” and only 14% say it is a cause for good.


Quote:Around 59% of the population described themselves as Christian and only a quarter reported having no religion. However amongst young people, the YouGov poll found only 25% believed in God.

You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Quote:Even then these figures show more people choosing belief over non-belief. “

Promising. I think technology is allowing humanity to see that we are not a different species and is also allowing us to expose the superstition that religions are.
