Letter; Little faith in the figures

The British Humanist Association poll concludes that only 43 per cent of British people believe in God. This differs hugely from other figures you suggest, such as the European Values Survey's 76 per cent. I for one would never believe a church-sponsored survey that proclaimed increasing popularity in God, so it seems fair to prefer the independent European Values Survey to the BHA.
