Two-thirds of Britons not religious, suggests survey

Nearly two-thirds of people do not regard themselves as "religious", a new survey carried out to coincide with the 2011 Census suggests.

The British Humanist Association (BHA), which commissioned the poll, said people often identified themselves as religious for cultural reasons.

The online poll asked 1,900 adults in England and Wales a question which is on this month's census form.

The Office for National Statistics has defended the wording of the census.

While 61% of the poll's respondents said they did belong to a religion, 65% of those surveyed answered "no" to the further question: "Are you religious?"

The same trend is happening in the US. The numbers are on the rise. Being religios can take a lot out of your life. The most productive & innovative countries in the world have a high number unreligious population. Including China, Japan, Europe, Canada and the US. Am I right? I'm not sure about India ? Further proof religion holds back humanity's progress.
