A majority of Britons fear moving away from Christianity risks harming future generations, a new opinion poll has revealed.
The survey, conducted by polling firm Whitestone, found 52 per cent of Britons believe it would be detrimental to loosen ties with the church, while just 19 per cent consider it beneficial.
It also finds 58 per cent of Britons believe Christianity still has something positive to offer Britain in the way it is governed, morally and/or practically. Also, just 11 per cent believe Britain has shared moral values and strong institutions, something 65 per cent of respondents believe is crucial for holding society together.
Polling shows Britain is divided over its identity, with just 39 per cent saying it remains a Christian country. The data also shows a fractured political landscape with voters of different parties holding varied opinions on how much of an influence religion should hold in society.
Reform UK voters have grown pessimistic about Britain’s moral and institutional condition, according to the data, which shows 78 per cent believe the country has lost a shared sense of right and wrong, while 63 per cent say they no longer know what it means to be British.
Conservative voters share similar concerns about the loss of Christian roots, but greater fears about whether moral renewal is achievable.
