Heaven and hell:

Between 1981 and 2022, the share of the public believing in heaven fell from 57% to 41%.

Despite this, the idea of heaven is still more popular than hell, which 26% said they believed in in 2022 – a figure largely unchanged since trends began.

While younger people have lower levels of religious belief and are more likely to identify as atheists, Gen Z (32%) and Millennials (32%) are in fact more likely than Baby Boomers (18%) and the Pre-War generation (24%) to believe in hell.

And by international standards, the UK is less likely to believe in hell, ranking 17th out of 24 countries – and far behind some peer nations such as the US (69%) and Italy (39%).

Life after death:

Views on life after death have held up well over the last four decades, with just under half of the public – including 46% in 2022 – consistently saying they believe in it.

And again, despite their lack of faith, younger people have higher levels of belief: in 2022, majorities of Gen Z (51%) and Millennials (53%) said they believed in life after death – higher than the share of Baby Boomers (35%) and the Pre-War generation (39%) who said the same.
