Four out of five British adults believe in the power of prayer.

We should do another survey. A proper one. Amongst Gransnetters. Including (especially) the ones who read but don't post.

j08 If they don't post, how are you going to survey them? A gransnet survey of whether people believe in the power of prayer would be statistically meaningless not just in terms of the general population, but also in terms of gransnet members.

j08 I think you would have define what you mean by prayer and what you mean by the power of prayer before any sort of survey would have the slightest validity. Lack of meaningful definitions is one of the things that seems to be wrong with the original survey.
