Evolution denial in the UK

[mirrorshard]

From today's Guardian: Most creationists in the UK are not religious.

I don't think there's much doubt, though, that lots and lots of people think of 'Christian' as the default and give that as their religion even if they don't practice at all beyond getting their babies splashed. That, to me, is culture rather than religion.

Oh yes, absolutely - I know lots of people who would describe themselves as 'culturally Christian' even if they don't really believe in any of it. But this article seems to be inplying that you have to be some sort of religious extremist to be a creationist, when in fact I've met plenty of people who aren't even churchgoers but who don't understand evolution and reject it out of hand.

I'm going with 'poorly-worded survey' here, to be honest.

I agree with the 'poorly worded'!
