Number of non-believers is surging in Britain.
Britain is entering its “first atheist age” as parents increasingly fail to pass on religious beliefs to their children, according to the largest study of its kind…
…It has long been known that children raised by non-religious parents are more likely to grow up as “non-theists” themselves, but academics have found the same is true for children whose parents believe firmly in God but do not actively participate in religious rituals or devote much “time or money” to their faith.
Of course, this is all blurry. People may not believe in ‘God’ as prescribed by a particular religion or denomination, but that doesn’t mean they don’t embrace the idea of a ‘higher being’ and actively practice spirituality.
