Do 85% of the world鈥檚 population practice a religion?
Counting religions across the globe 鈥� is the world getting more religious or less?
We don鈥檛 usually do god on More or Less, but one listener got in touch to ask us to investigate a stat used by an Anglican priest on a 91热爆 radio programme.
Speaking on the 鈥淭hought for the Day鈥� slot, Reverend Lucy Winkett said that around 85% of the world's population practice a religion.
Is this true? We speak to Conrad Hackett, from the Pew Research Center, and the person whose research is the source for the claim.
