More people in Britain think religion causes harm than believe it does good,
according to a Guardian/ICM poll published today. It shows that an
overwhelming majority see religion as a cause of division and tension -
greatly outnumbering the smaller majority who also believe that it can be a
force for good.
The poll also reveals that non-believers outnumber believers in Britain by
almost two to one. It paints a picture of a sceptical nation with massive
doubts about the effect religion has on society: 82% of those questioned
say they see religion as a cause of division and tension between people.
Only 16% disagree. The findings are at odds with attempts by some religious
leaders to define the country as one made up of many faith communities.
