Is Jesus history?

The Evangelical Alliance Talking Jesus report for 2022 makes interesting reading. In particular, questions repeated from an earlier survey in 2015 allow us to note changes in UK beliefs.

Defending our faith Chris Sinkinson

Perhaps most striking is that those describing themselves as Christians has dropped from 58% to 48% over that period (those who describe themselves as practicing their faith is 6%). The second largest group were not Muslims or atheists but simply those preferring to declare no affiliation. This group has risen from 11% in 2015 to 26% in 2022. This suggests not so much a rise in militant opposition to religion but a decline in confidence or interest in religious faith.
