United Kingdom (UK): attitudes towards science and faith 2013 generation survey
Share of adults agreeing that we depend too much on science and not enough on faith in the United Kingdom in 2013, by generation
This 2013 survey investigated how the different generation members in the United Kingdom perceive the positions of science and faith in our mindsets today. The pre-war generation's respondents were the most convinced that we depend too much on science and not enough on faith. The younger generations showed lower rates of agreement though at least roughly a quarter of each group surveyed agreed with the notion.
