Unbelieving Britons

In a poll of 10,000 people in ten countries, Britain was found to be “among the most godless . . . , with the lowest levels of religious belief and activities,” claims The Times of London. While 46 percent of Britons said that they had always believed in God, only two countries, Russia and the Republic of South Korea, claimed fewer believers. More than 90 percent of people in Nigeria, Indonesia, and Lebanon believed that their god was the one true God, but only 3 out of 10 in Britain felt the same way. In most countries more than 80 percent said that belief in God makes one a better person, but only 56 percent of Britons agreed. Whereas 85 percent in the United States, 99 percent in Indonesia, and 83 percent in Mexico believed God created the universe, only 52 percent in Britain did. Asked whether the world would be more peaceful without religion, 6 percent in the United States, 9 percent in India, and 11 percent in Israel said yes, but in Britain the figure was 29 percent!

As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

Amen to that!
