This week's question:
Is loss of faith a problem?
A group of Christian MPs have announced that the
primary cause for unhappiness in Britain is not lack of material wealth but a loss in faith in God and religion. Do you
think this is true?

Ruth Begley, 91, of Cambridge Road, Dorchester, said:
"I think you should believe in religion
because it sets the principles of how you live your life. It can help you in many ways to get through life and rise to
new challenges."

Bernard Begley, 77, of Cambridge Road, Dorchester, said:
"I don’t think it necessarily means that
people will be happier. My parents were very religious and I used to go to church all the time but I do think that it
helps if people have something to believe in."

Geoff Mercer, 84, of Lubbecke Way, Dorchester, said:
"I don’t think that religion makes a
difference. You can still be a kind Christian person and do good turns for people without necessarily being religious.
You can have beliefs in things or ways of living your life without being religious."

Chris Davis, 28, of Monmouth Road, Dorchester, said:
"I am not religious myself but I think it’s
good to believe in something. I don’t think it’s for anyone to say that you should or shouldn’t believe in things. I
think having something to focus on can make people happy whoever or whatever it is."

Jay Gordon, 25, of High West Street, Dorchester, said:
"I think ultimately you can only find
significance in life if you have something to believe in. It is important to have faith to get you through hard
times."

Danny Horley, 30, of Cornflower Close, Weymouth, said:
"I think it’s better to believe in something because it gives you faith in something bigger than
yourself. But it should be up to each individual to choose."
