Time and Tide

From an item in Time and Tide London, England

The many "intellectuals" and humanists who take it for granted that religion is some sort of primitive survival, mercifully nearly extinct, will find no comfort in a new study [Background and Belief by F. J. Rees, M.A.] of religious attitudes of third year students at Oxford, Cambridge and the University College of North Wales (Bangor).

Both groups will be dismayed to find, according to this study, that the "hard core" atheists and agnostics make up only 13 per cent of the sample, while the convinced and practising church members make up 28 per cent.
