| A YouGov survey, commissioned by The Folio Society, saw the Bible named as the most valuable book to humanity. People were asked to name the books of most significance for the modern world. The Bible got 37 per cent of the vote, while Darwin’s On the Origins of Species, was chosen by 35 per cent. The Bible was cited because it ‘contains principles/guidelines on how to be a good’ and On the Origin of Species was chosen because it ‘answers fundamental questions of human existence’. | |

| During his daily mass, Pope Francis has said that a Christian earns his ability to speak with authority from the Holy Spirit, not from a theology degree. He said: ‘Perhaps you will be a great theologian, but you are not a Christian, because you do not have the Spirit of God. That which gives authority, that which gives you your identity and the Holy Spirit, the anointing of the Holy Spirit’. | |

Closer to home, in their neighbourhoods, more than four in 10 people trusted their next-door neighbour enough to leave a spare key with them or ask them to look after their property while away. | |

| Prime Minister David Cameron’s assertion that Britain is a ‘Christian country’ sparked controversy, with claims from secularists that the statement was divisive and untrue. His comments drew fire from secularists, with a letter to The Daily Telegraph signed by 50 public figures headed by the president of the British Humanist Association, Professor Jim Al-Khalili saying: ‘We object to his characterisation of Britain as a “Christian country” and the negative consequences for politics and society that this engenders.’ It continued: ‘Apart from in the narrow constitutional sense that we continue to have an established Church, Britain is not a “Christian country”. Constantly to claim otherwise fosters alienation and division in our society.’ | |
