  1. Mapping Practising Christians September 2017

  2. Methodology • ComRes interviewed 8,150 GB adults aged 18+ online between 17th and 31st March 2017 – of which 4,190 identified as Christians. • Data were weighted to be demographically representative of all GB adults. ComRes is a member of the British Polling Council and abides by its rules. • Of this sample 522 were identified as ‘practising’ Christians (those who say they read/listen to the Bible at least once a week, pray at least once a week and attend a church service at least once a month). • The term active Christian refers to respondents who identify as an active follower of Jesus but do necessarily read/listen to the Bible at least once a week, pray at least once a week and attend a church service at least once a month.

  3. Christians in Britain Base: all respondents (n=8150)

  4. Female practising Christians surveyed are more likely than male practising Christians to say that they pray every day (70% vs 60%). Base: all respondents who are practising Christians (n=522)

  5. In this survey of adults in Britain, the mean age of Practising Christians is 51 compared with 47 years old for the general public. Base: all respondents who are practising Christians (n=522) Base: all respondents (n=8150)

  7. ‘Practising’ Christians (those who say they attend church on a monthly basis, pray and read/listen to the Bible weekly) are more likely than ‘non-active’ Christians to say that they became a Christian at a later age – an average of 12 years old compared to 5 years old. The mean age that respondents reported becoming a Christian varies regionally with people in Wales reporting 17*, people in England reporting 11 and people in Scotland reporting 11. Base: all respondents who are practising Christians (n=522)

  8. Practising Christians net: ABC1 65% compared with the general public net ABC1: 54% Base: all respondents (n=8150) Base: all respondents who are practising Christians (n=522)
