“Religion still matters, global survey finds” Christian Today (UK). July 6, 2011.

A new Ipsos MORI [a leading market research company in the UK and Ireland] poll has found that religion still matters to most people in the world. The global survey looked at the views of over 18,000 people across 24 countries, including the UK and US.

Seven in ten of those surveyed said they had a religion, but there was a marked difference between Christians and Muslims when it came to the importance they placed on their faith.

In Muslim-majority countries, 94 percent of those with a religion agreed that their faith was important in their lives, compared to 66 percent in Christian-majority countries.
