I loved the following extract from a 2012 article so much I wanted to share it with you.
"Spiritual Demographics: According to British Religion in Numbers, belief in "a personal God" roughly halved between 1961 and 2000 – from 57% of the population to 26%. But over the same period belief in a "spirit or life force" doubled – from 22% to 44%. And 41% of us now believe in angels, 53% in an afterlife and 70% in a soul – that's much higher, often double, than when the records began. And you can't just say this is a growth in superstition – because belief in fortune-telling and astrology has not risen."
