Religion and Public Opinion
An article on the Times website reports on a YouGov poll that finds that:
NEARLY half the British think that religion is harmful, according to a poll
carried out by YouGov. Yet more than half also believe in God “or
something”.
Is this a contradiction? These two halves are unlikely to be precisely exclusive – so a number of people clearly take the view that there is a God (or ‘something’) – but that the human response to this (if that is what we cal religion) is harmful… I guess it brings us to the question: can we have ‘God without religion’? (and would we want it…)
