Some 51% of 18 to 34-year-olds in the UK pray at least once a month, a new survey suggests.

Young people in the UK are twice as likely as older people to pray regularly, a new survey has found.

The associate director of Savanta said the numbers could reflect the move to online worship during the pandemic. He explained it was important to "factor in the impact the pandemic has had on the ability to engage with one's faith" with virtual prayers and services being held online. "I know it's guaranteed and it's not going to change. I know it's going to be the place that provides solace. It's my grounding and my anchor in life."Yasmina Abdelrazik pictured with her friend Zara Ahmed, said she bases her aspirations around her faith"It's something that reminds me every day why I'm here. And it's kind of what I base all my aspirations around.

"It is becoming increasingly clear that there is actually a growing spirituality in the nation," he said.

The young also believe in Santa Clause and the tooth fairy - so one more man-made fairytale makes sense to them. Once they pass 10 years old l hope they don't embrace a 'religious ' crutch for life.
