Object: 14% of English do not know who Jesus is?!

.....
Comparison of the U.S. and Britain
On 1999-DEC-16, Opinion Research Business released the results of a poll
conducted in Britain. 3 Some of their findings were:
About Jesus Christ:
14% do not know who he is.
Less than 50% "believe in Christ". This probably means that they do not
believe that he is the son of God; the exact meaning of the question was
not defined
22% believe that he is "just a story."
Church affiliation:
49% identify themselves as affiliated with a religious group.
27% belong to the Church of England (Episcopalian, Anglican). This is a
drop from 40% in 1990.
9% are Roman Catholics, unchanged since 1990.
Church attendance:
3% of the population goes to church only at Easter and Christmas.
46% say that they have never gone to church at all.
A 2005 survey of Church of England members and clergy found a phenomenon
that has been often observed in other denominations on both sides of the
big pond: the clergy is more liberal than the congregations.
97% of both clergy and laity believe in God.
80% of both clergy and laity believe in the resurrection of Jesus
62% of the laity and 60% of the clergy believe in the virgin birth of
Jesus.
65% of the laity and 61% of the clergy believe that Jesus converted water
into wine.
One in three clergy and one in four laity favor the ordination of
"practicing homosexuals."
56% of the laity and 48% of the clergy believe that same-sex behavior is
wrong.
The data was contained in a 180-page report, titled "Fragmented Faith?. It
states that "In many ways ordained Anglicans look out on to a somewhat
different world from the world viewed by lay Anglicans. Overall, it is the
faultline between the clergy and the committed laity on the issue of
homosexuality which may take the Church of England most by surprise." 4

Blair and Labor and the Toreys seem to want to screw up everything they
touch.
But still, 14% of English do not know who Jesus is?!
I can seen hope ahead. Someday when nobody knows
who Jesus is, or Mohammed.
What a nice concept!
