The split in table 2 col 1 by education looks impossible. Should there be a weighted average of 22.6, 26.9 and 25.0 of 52.4? perhaps cols 1 and 2 are reversed here?

David – well spotted, and thanks for pointing this out. We mistakenly entered the proportions who don’t think same sex relations are as valid as heterosexual relationships, instead of those who do. We’ve corrected it so that these are now the right figures. ‘Don’t knows’ account for the rest. Thanks again.

On the same point as David: Table 2 columns 1 and 2 related to education now have identical figures.

Thanks, Paul. We have just double-checked the figures for Table 2. As David suggested, the columns were indeed reversed. I am sorry for the mistake, and apologise to Ben too for not spotting it yesterday when correcting the post. I am extremely grateful to you both for flagging this error up.

[…] Press Review Anglicans and Attitudes towards Gay Marriage British Religion in Numbers has published statistics about Anglicans and Attitudes towards Gay Marriage. The proportion of Anglicans who thought that sexual relations between adults of the same sex was either ‘always wrong’ or ‘almost always wrong’ had fallen from 69.7 per cent in 1983 to 37.4 per cent in 2010. http://www.brin.ac.uk/news/2012/anglicans-and-attitudes-towards-gay-marriage/ […]

Do these figures pertain just to the Church of England, or to the Scottish Episcopal Church and the Church in Wales as well?

Hi- this category in the YouGov survey includes those who identify themselves as belonging to the Church as England or the Episcopal Church, as well as those who refer to themselves as Anglican.
