A total of 2,396 UK adults were surveyed across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. An additional booster set of 25 Muslims and 185 Hindus was included.

It should especially be noted that the samples of Jews, Sikhs and Buddhists were so small (15, 2, and 20 respectively) that the results from these faith groups in particular are not and should not be assumed to indicate any significant correlation between the answers given and the faith to which the respondents belong. These are the key findings:
