Recently we surveyed 1,330 evangelical Christians on their opinions on belief and unbelief. Topics included other religions, secularism and sharing the gospel. We expand on these results in the current issue of idea magazine, including an analysis by the Alliance's director of advocacy, Dr Dave Landrum. You can read that here.

Below are the highlights from some of the statistics. This is just a snapshot of results and not a detailed analysis.
