Britons are believers of 'fuzzy faith'

According to the study, only 12 per cent of Britons feel they "belong" to a church, compared with 52 per cent in France.

It also found that the UK has one of the highest rates of "fuzzy faith" - or people who have an abstract belief in God and an ill-defined loyalty to Christian traditions.
