The ‘fuzzy faith’ of the British

A study conducted as part of the EU-funded European Social Survey has revealed that Britain is one of the least religious nations in Europe. The lead researcher says that "the UK is ‘on the road to non-religion’, with Christianity gradually being erased from public life and the older generation failing to pass it on". ‘Fuzzy faith’ is defined as "an abstract belief in God and ill-defined loyalty to Christian traditions". Only 12% of adults in the UK feel they ‘belong’ to a church, compared with 52% in France. Read the study: The Rise and Fall of Fuzzy Fidelity in Europe
