From the Telegraph

Most Britons do not believe the Biblical story of the birth of Jesus, a study has found.
Young people were particularly doubtful about the nativity, with 78 per cent of 16-24-year-olds saying they were not convinced of its historical reliability.

Overall, 70 per cent were sceptical of the baby’s birth in a manger to a virgin mother, according to the poll of 1,000 people by the British Marketing Research Bureau.

Almost a quarter of those questioned who described themselves as Christians admitted they did not believe certain aspects of the Bible’s teaching about Jesus.

This is an encouraging statistic: among North American Anglican clergy, 95% are skeptical of Jesus’ virgin birth. Oh alright, I admit I am making up that figure, but it can’t be far off.
