Four out of five Britons do not believe in creationism?
The survey of more than 2,000 people found the east has the largest proportion of people in the UK who believe that the theory of evolution removes any need for God (44 per cent).
Almost half of adults there believe the theory of evolution makes God obsolete but just over half are unaware that Charles Darwin wrote The Origin of Species.
Three per cent even believe that he wrote The God Delusion, which is by Richard Dawkins.
