New research from the universities of Münster and Berlin reveals that Britain is experiencing its first 'atheist age', with non-believers now outnumbering believers. Key findings indicate that mothers are central to the transmission of religious beliefs, but as societal factors change, fewer parents are instilling religious values in their children. The study, which surveyed families worldwide, highlights this shift, linking the decline of religion to increased parental secularism and a growing openness to non-belief.
