There is a disparity between the figures for those identifying themselves with a particular religion and for those proclaiming a belief in a God:
In a 2011 YouGov poll, 34 per cent of UK citizens claimed they believed in a God or gods.[64]
A Eurobarometer opinion poll in 2010 reported that 37 per cent of UK citizens "believed there is a God", 33 per cent believe there is "some sort of spirit or life force" and 25 per cent answered "I don't believe there is any sort of spirit, God or life force".[65]
The 2008 European Social Survey suggests that 46.94 per cent of UK citizens never pray and 18.96 per cent pray daily.[40]
A survey in 2007 suggested that 42 per cent of adults resident in the United Kingdom prayed, with one in six praying on a daily basis.[66]
