Some interesting French religious statistics

It has been too long since our last post, sorry for the silence. Today I was reading our friends and teammates blog, the Shorb's (who I introduced a few weeks back here), and I wanted to share their post on some more recent statistics about spiritual interest in France.

This was a study published in February 2011 and the most encouraging percentage to me was that even though only 36% said they believe in God (in general), 62% of the population said they would like to discuss the questions they have about God with someone. Not that it is always easy to identify who those people are, but it is awesome that for the majority of the French, if God exists and who God is, are important enough issues to be thought through and discussed. And that is just what we want to do, discuss it with them. :)

If you want to see all the statistics, hop on over to the Shorb's blog here
