Believing without Belonging?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/6517807.stm

Are people in the UK really still Christians but just absent from Church?

I rather doubt it. This survey does show, however, that secularism isn't catching on as well as some people would like it to.

Of course, that comes as no surprise to anyone with a passing familiarity with the Bible, or human nature for that matter. We need to believe in God; in fact, we need to involve him in our lives (notice that the majority of people profess to be praying people...) Is that a huge defect in our species, or is it perchance because in reality we are the creation of a God who wants to be involved with us?
