As in the previous piece, a new analysis places non-belief (i.e. “no religious affiliation”) in younger people in the UK at 70% ... will Anglicans wake up and realise (as Christian minorities have in other countries) that their best protection is in a secular society?

Just who are Faith Schools for?

A new analysis places non-belief (i.e. “no religious affiliation”) in younger people in the UK at 70% - almost the same as the British Social Attitudes Survey, which gave 71%.
