A quarter of Britons don't believe that Jesus conquered death and rose from the grave, according to a new research.
However, according to the survey, 57 per cent of adults believe that Jesus was crucified, buried and rose from the dead.For over a quarter of the British population, the fundamental parts of the Easter story have 'no real meaning', the survey found.
According to results, 2 in 5 people regard Jesus as the son of God, whereas just over half think that he was just a holy prophet.
The online survey of 1100 Britons was conducted by Theos the public theology think-tank.
"The results show a healthy number of people who do still believe in what the New Testament teaches both about Jesus and about their own ultimate future, but also a fair amount of predictable confusion about what resurrection itself actually is," Times Online quoted The Bishop of Durham, Tom Wright, as saying.
"Resurrection isn't a fancy way of saying 'life after death' - it's a way of talking about a further stage, life after 'life after death'," he said.
