Paul Bickley discusses Religion Counts on Dr Krish Kandiah OBE’s Just Politics 07/06/2024

What is the role of faith groups in voting? What have we learned from the banana milkshake incident? Paul Bickley and Krish Kandiah discuss our Religion Counts research on the Just Politics election special.

On Theos’ ‘Religion Counts’ series

This blog is part of a larger body of work including briefing papers and articles exploring the impact of religion on voting patterns in the UK.

The first briefing paper: Do the religious vote? which examines whether voters from different religions backgrounds are more or less likely to vote.

The second briefing paper: Who do the religious vote for? looks at data on party preference – which parties are people from various religious backgrounds likely to vote for?

The third briefing paper: Do the religious feel like they can make a difference? which explores political efficacy, social trust, and political trust amongst religious participants.

The fourth briefing paper: Economic and Social Values which maps the economic and social attitudes of religious groups in Britain.
