YouGov apologized and took “full responsibility” for the errors while the Bible Society, which commissioned the findings, has pulled its original “Quiet Revival” report. Among 18- to 24-year-olds, the polling showed attendance had increased fourfold, from 4 per cent to 16 per cent. The YouGov polling generated significant publicity and was cited as a core piece of evidence challenging the long-term trend away from churchgoing. Wyatt said it was out of sync with other data, including the British Social Attitudes survey showing a long-term trend in churchgoing. While the YouGov survey was flawed, some British churches are seeing interest increase.
