Gen Z is most open to faith, says new survey

British adults between the ages of 25-34 are most likely to report that they go to church regularly (11 per cent), compared with 10 per cent of those aged over 65. 

The survey found only 10 per cent of the public agreed with the statement that 'religion is a negative influence on society' and 44 per cent agreed that they have had a positive experience of Christians and Christianity.

Half of British adults (51 per cent) disagree that Christians are a negative force in society.

Excellent news for these troubled times.

At least the U.S. is growing more sensible.

"More than any other generation before them, Gen Z does not assert a religious identity. They might be drawn to things spiritual, but with a vastly different starting point from previous generations, many of whom received a basic education on the Bible and Christianity. And it shows: The percentage of Gen Z that identifies as atheist is double that of the U.S. adult population. To examine the culture, beliefs and motivations shaping this next generation, Barna conducted a major study in partnership with Impact 360 Institute, now available in the brand new Gen Z report. In this release, we take a look at their views on faith, truth and the church in a time of growing religious apathy."

And the other half are of what religion..if any? What is the % of the other half in terms of their beliefs or non beliefs. 

Who were asked? All well and fine doing a survey, but as this is from Christian today, if they asked a load of christians, then obviously they are not going to say they are not open to faith.
