Interesting survey, which for me says a lot about some people's rather mixed up thoughts on the resurrection, a possible afterlife, and the Bible in general.
For example:
"9% of non-religious people believe in the Resurrection, 1% of whom say they believe it literally.
and I love this comment:
"Commenting for the Church of England, the Bishop of Manchester, the Right Reverend David Walker, said: "This important and welcome survey proves that many British people, despite not being regular churchgoers, hold core Christian beliefs.
"Alongside them it finds surprisingly high levels of religious belief among those who follow no specific religion, often erroneously referred to as secularists or atheists."
The Bish does not seem to be aware, that religious people can be, and often are, "secularists" too. He seems to have something against secularism, or doesn't understand what it actually means, which is surprising. He is also confusing atheism with agnosticism.
Anyway here is the link:
