Godless Brits Think Jesus was Born in the North Pole!
As if the Godless brits haven't demonstrated how deeply lost they are, now THIS secular story reveals the fact that they don't even know the bare basics about the Greatest Story Ever Told: Christ's Birth on December 25th! 
Where was Jesus born? 1 in 3 people don't know
The Christmas carollers may have already been heard singing O Little Town of Bethlehem the length and breadth of the country.
But it appears a huge chunk of their audience may have no idea why the town should be worthy of such reverence.
In an alarming survey published today into knowledge of the Christmas story, it appears that one in four adults do not know that Jesus was born in Bethlehem.
Among younger Britons - between 18 and 24 - the total for those who could not give the correct location rose to 36 per cent.
Other religious blank spots included the role of the Archangel Gabriel - more than a quarter had no idea that Gabriel brought God's message to Mary at her home in Nazareth to say that she would give birth to a son.
And the majority of those questioned - 52 per cent - did not know that John the Baptist was Jesus's cousin.
More than 75 per cent were unaware that Joseph, Mary and Jesus fled to Egypt to escape from King Herod. Most thought they had fled to Nazareth, the family's hometown.
Only 12 per cent of adults could answer all four questions about the Christmas story correctly.
The survey of more than 1,000 adults was commissioned by the public theology think-tank Theos and is likely to reignite debate about the secularisation of Christmas.
Christian churchgoers were the best informed about the Nativity, with 36 per cent answering all questions correctly, compared with only five per cent of atheists.
The survey also showed regional differences in how well people know Bible stories.
The South East was the area with the highest percentage getting all four answers right, at 19 per cent.
That was followed by the South West, which scored 17 per cent.
Those who demonstrated the worst Biblical knowledge were in Yorkshire and Humberside and London.
In both regions, 15 per cent of those questioned answered all four survey questions incorrectly.
