MY NEW OP-ED: Why I doubt surveys suggesting a quiet revival among young adults in Britain www.premierchristianity.com/opinion/why-...
We may be seeing anecdotal evidence of some growing, lively churches, says Dr Conrad Hackett. But that doesn’t mean the data shows an increase in church attendance or people identifying as Christian. As a demographer, he explains why the survey methodology is as important as its findings It’s my job to assess religion data. And in my expert judgement, the survey evidence for a Christian resurgence among young adults in Britain is weak. As a demographer of religion at Pew Research Center, I analyse census and survey data from around the world to understand how religious landscapes are changing. Between 2010 and 2020, the United Kingdom saw a 13 percentage point drop in the Christian share of its population (from 62% to 49%). Other countries experiencing such large drops included Australia, Canada and the United States. In such places, younger generations typically are less religious than their parents’ and grandparents’ generations. This pattern is often how religion declines around the world. However, reports have appeared in the British media about surveys that find surprisingly high levels of religious commitment among young adults. For example, in 2021, the BBC reported on a Savanta poll that found monthly worship attendance among 18 to 34-year olds was three times the rate among people over 55. This poll was commissioned by the Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer. Last year, Bible Society described a “The Quiet Revival” in which “Gen Z leads an exciting turnaround in church attendance.” This claim was based on a YouGov survey commissioned by Bible Society in 2024. It found that the share of churchgoing Christians in England and Wales was higher among 18-to-24-year-olds than among adults as a whole. And, according to a Savanta poll commissioned by Tearfund, most British adults under 45 planned to attend church last Christmas, while a majority of older adults did not. It is important to understand that none of these surveys recruited respondents at random from the general population. Instead, they canvassed members of opt-in panels who signed up to take the surveys. These respondents were recruited through methods such as online advertising, self-enrolment and email lists. It is important to understand that none of these surveys recruited respondents at random from the general population. Instead, they canvassed members of opt-in panels who signed up to take the surveys. These respondents were recruited through methods such as online advertising, self-enrolment and email lists. My colleagues at Pew Research Center have previously demonstrated that opt-in surveys may be biased by “bogus respondents” who, instead of answering questions honestly, answer with the minimal effort required to complete surveys quickly and receive monetary rewards. Bogus respondents are often a large share of those who claim to be young adults in opt-in surveys. Therefore, the results for young adults may be especially dubious. Opt-in polls have generated surprising headlines about young adults - and not just in the religious realm. For example, a recent story in Fortune magazine announced an opt-in survey found that 77% of Gen Z job seekers have brought a parent to an interview. If opt-in polls may lead us astray, what kind of polls should we trust? The gold standard in social science research is surveys that use random samples of the population. In such surveys, you can participate only if the researchers randomly select you. You can’t volunteer (opt in). You have to be chosen randomly on the basis of your telephone number or home address. Surveys based on random samples show that Christian identity and practice are not increasing among young adults in Britain. For example, the Labour Force Survey (LFS) measures religious self-identification among more than 50,000 individuals in a typical quarter across more than 20,000 randomly sampled UK households. In summer 2025, the LFS showed that 44% of adults in Britain identified as Christian, down from 54% in early 2018. Moreover, Christian identification is declining across age groups. In the LFS, 28% of 18-to-34-year-olds identified as Christian in summer 2025, down from 37% in early 2018. Throughout this period, older British adults consistently identified as Christian at higher levels than young adults. Of course, many self-identified Christians are not regular churchgoers. Since the LFS doesn’t measure worship attendance, we can turn to another long-standing survey that uses random population samples to see how the churchgoing Christian share of the adult population has changed. The annual British Social Attitudes (BSA) survey measures religious identity and worship attendance in Britain, based on a random sample of more than 3,000 adults. BSA data shows no clear evidence of a Christian revival. Among all adult respondents, the share who identify as Christians and who go to church at least once a month was 12% in 2018 and 9% in 2024. Similarly, the share of young adults who are Christian churchgoers has not risen above pre-pandemic levels, according to the BSA survey. Among 18-to-34-year-olds, 6% were in this category in 2024, compared to 8% in 2018.

A little bear figurine carved out of amber some 6,000 years ago 🐻❤️

A hole runs through the bear’s torso suggesting it was threaded on a cord, perhaps worn or carried as a protective charm.

Found in a peat bog near Słupsk, Poland, in 1887.

Photo by G. Solecki/A. Piętak of a small figurine of a bear carved out of amber between 9600 and 4100 BC. The amber is a deep translucent orange. The display lighting makes it glow in places. The bear's head is carved to show ears, mouth, nostrils and eyes. A hole runs through the bear’s torso, suggesting it was threaded onto a cord. Dimensions: Length 10.2 cm, Height 4.2 It was discovered in Słupsk during peat mining in 1887. According to the museum catalogue ‘’Shortly after its discovery, the figure underwent conservation work to restore its original appearance as it was covered with a layer of dull patina from the exposure to the minerals contained in the peat. Already at that time, at the end of the 19th century, it was assumed the restoration had gone too far. The figure was stripped entirely of patina, the anatomical features of the animal were emphasised, the eyes and nostrils were sharply drawn, and the amber was carefully polished”. In 2013, a competition was organised by the Education Department of the National Museum in Szczecin, for children to choose a name for the bear. The winning name was ‘Słupcio’,

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." …
She offered me $2600 to self-deport.
I refused.
I wanted to talk to my attorney.
They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’
… 25. This Cibola jail was horrible. It was cramped. I was chained up again. The officers mocked me and called me their enemy. They laughed at me. I was kept at the jail for what felt like around three hours. I wasn't given an explanation for why I was there. 26. Security guards then put me on a bus. I think it was around January 27. No one said anything about where I was going. I was handcuffed. It felt like the middle of the night. It was freezing cold in the bus because the driver had the AC on. We had no jackets. The bus eventually took me back to El Paso in the carly morning of Tuesday, January 27th. 27. I was put in a cold cell where I had to sleep on the bare cement floor. Around 10 in the morning my cellmate asked to speak to an ICE officer. Three officers came into the cell so I had a chance to speak to them too. One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." She told me that if I fought my case, I would spend two to three more months here in El Paso. She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota. If I hadn't managed to talk to my attorney who told me a while back that I was ordered released. I might have given up at this point and signed the self-deportation forms because the conditions were so unbearable. … 30. When I was taken back to the detention center from the airport, after missing the flight, I overheard an ICE officer saying in English, "the judge in Minnesota wants this one back." I was put in a cold jail cell again until early next morning (January 28). But again no one had told me directly that a judge had ordered my release … 32. When I arrived in Minneapolis, I was handed off to ICE … I had to sign lots of papers saying that I wasn't going to be a part of any "groups." I didn't know what they meant by "groups." They never told me why I was detained
