The power of prayer

Four out of five British adults believe in the power of prayer

Four out of five British adults believe in the power of prayer, according to a new ICM survey in the run-up to Easter.  Three in every ten people, asked what they would pray for, cited peace in the world and an end to poverty.

Women are more likely to pray than men, according to the survey, with eighty-five per cent of women citing something they would pray for, compared with seventy-six per cent of men. Those aged over sixty-five (eighty-nine per cent) and those between eighteen and twenty-four (eighty-five per cent) are the most likely to pray, while those between thirty-five and forty (seventy-five per cent) are the least likely.
