One response to “On the Seventh Day”

With Nigel Nelson’s generous assistance, I have been looking into this poll further since writing the post for BRIN. It turns out that, despite several explicit statements in THE PEOPLE article to the effect that this was a survey of the newspaper’s readers, the poll involved a general and representative sample of 2,000 adults aged 18 and over throughout the UK. Fieldwork was conducted online by OnePoll. So, I can now say with the benefit of hindsight that all the statistics quoted in my post actually related to the UK population as a whole and not to the readership of THE PEOPLE. I can also report that Nigel has a second article offering additional analysis of the survey, with special reference to churchgoing, on page E2 of THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND NEWSPAPER for 2 March 2012.
