“Organised religion is in near-terminal decline in Britain because parents have only a 50-50 chance of passing on belief to their offspring, a study claimed yesterday.
By contrast, parents without faith are successful in producing a new generation of non-believers, it said.
The report identified institutional religion as having a “half-life” of one generation, as children are only half as likely as their parents to say that it is important in their lives.”
