What does Europe believe? Christian look at Eurobarometer Poll results
Having just got back from a web evangelism conference in Lithuania, I thought I'd look up some stats for beliefs in that country, and found this remarkable table of Eurobarometer Poll results for the whole of Europe.

Social and religious trends in UK reflect those in the rest of the West
Research in UK by Christian thinktank Theos shows big big changes in religious belief: one in five believes in astrology or horoscopes, one in ten in Tarot or fortune telling and nearly three in ten people believe in reincarnation. These are much higher figures than similar research carried out in 1950 by Gallup. Although not included in the survey, ‘karma’ is also a very common belief here in UK.
What this surely demonstrates is that a large percentage of the UK population (and doubtless similar populations elsewhere in the West) are effectively believing most of the tenets of Buddhism though they would be mostly unaware that they are doing so.

Demons in the Bible: James 2:19
It seems strange to think of demons acknowledging Jesus' Lordship, but this passage uses this image to demonstrate that simply saying you believe in Jesus is not enough--even the demons do that! Our actions, not our words, will ultimately demonstrate if we love Jesus or not.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - When You Are Doubting Thomas - #8243 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
When we moved in my senior year, I lost my Christian cocoon. I’d had a good youth group, a Bible club, a lot of Christians. And then, man, I had none of the above. I was like the “Lone Christian.” And I was in this one class where the teacher challenged everything I believed, and now I was questioning things that I never really questioned before. What if we’d been raised in another culture? Would I have believed something else? Well, I really started digging into the evidence for myself, and I’ll tell you today the things I struggled with are the things I know are true beyond any shadow of a doubt.

Belief - a Christian perspective
Confronted by Jesus' grace, this man cried out for help in replacing his unbelief with belief in God. Unbelief is rooted deeply in the human heart; we need God's help overcoming it.

Belief in the Bible: Mark 9:14-32
An account of Jesus' healing of a demon-possessed boy. One thing that stands out in this story is the importance Jesus puts on belief: "Everything is possible for him who believes." This is the same type of faith that can move mountains: complete trust in God and confidence that there is no obstacle too great for God to overcome.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - How We Believe, How We Behave - #8102
You know that’s how many Christians feel about Jesus in their life. They’ll give Him one slice of the pie and that one really has a Jesus flavor. They go to church, they read their Bible, they pray, but then there’s my job, my money, my entertainment, my relationships, how I treat people, and the Jesus slice of course.
