Thanks for keeping tabs on all this so that we don’t have to! I’d agree with the statement that Christians, Jews and Muslims all believe in ‘one God’, but ‘the same’? I’d be interested to see the question: someone who disagreed with this statement, but did so because they were aware of the differences between the 3 faiths would probably be more well-informed than the average.

Dear David
Your point is very well-made. Unfortunately, I have still had no luck in gaining access to the full data tables for this survey, including the exact question-wording.

The statistics are disaggregated by gender, age, social grade, region, and religious affiliation. They can be found at:

Clive,
Did you ever manage to track down the tables for the Populus/Maimonides Foundation poll?

Dear Anthony
In short, no, I am afraid. The Maimonides Foundation failed to reply to several emails from me. Neither have the data appeared on the Populus website. If any BRIN reader knows where these poll findings have been made available, do post a link to BRIN, please.
