EXCERPT: As David Cameron uses his Easter Sunday address to urge British people to remember their "Christian values", a new survey has shown that most British people hold a rather different set of beliefs. British people are more likely to believe in ghosts than a creator God, a YouGov survey has found. The same survey also found that self-identified Christians are more likely to believe in aliens than the devil, and more likely to believe in fate than in heaven or an eternal soul....

Never heard of or used the YouGov website, I'd imply that I'm not a statistical anomaly, most people probably haven't heard of it or frequented it, so it makes their statistics extremely moot.

I believe in ghosts but not God. I liken it to believing there is intelligent life out in space, but not therefore concluding Darth Vader exists.
