Poll shows more people of no faith in young age group in UK

This is encouraging. A poll by the BBC on religion for BBC News 24’s “faith day” (WTF does News 24 need to have a “faith day” for anyway?) shows that there are more people in the 18-24 age group that say that have no faith (43%) over those who profess to be Christian (41%).

Older age groups have more people who profess a religion. But as they grow old and die, with more and more of the younger generation not having a faith then the long slow death of religion in the UK will continue. Which is good. Details of the survey are available in a PDF downloadable from the BBC site.
