Evangelicals very  political – survey

Most evangelical Christians are prepared to vote in the upcoming general election, a survey from the Evangelical Alliance UK (EAUK) suggests – though one in four were as yet undecided as to how they may vote.

EAUK has published a report, ‘Thinking Faithfully About Politics: a snapshot of how evangelicals think and act as they engage in politics’, following a survey that was carried out in the last two months of 2023. It found that evangelicals care about politics – and that there is ‘great diversity’ in how they engage with politics.

Those surveyed were asked how they plan to vote in the general election and what influences their voting. The majority (93%) of 1,380 evangelical Christians responding to the survey said they would be either ‘likely’ or ‘certain’ to vote – a significant proportion given that turnout of the population in the last two general elections was 65% and 69%.
