The poll found that more than one in five British adults has read the book, which has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide, and that a large proportion believe its central claims.

I know this is not true, because the book is clearly labeled as fiction, and everyone knows that you don't believe anything you read in a work of fiction.

I've read that any number of times here on FR.

Shalom.

Less than 1% of those surveyed (Britons) have ever attended church (except for weddings or funerals). They'll believe anything they read because theological education in the UK is virtually nonexistent.

This may be the first time many folks in the UK have ever been exposed to theology at any level. Perhaps some will quest for the truth as a result.
