More and more Britons aren't buying into the virgin birth story. According to a church-commissioned survey are sceptical of the biblical story of Jesus's birth.

I wonder what an American survey on the same question would look like.

The majority of Britons do not believe the Biblical story of the birth of Jesus, a survey has suggested.

Of 1,000 people questioned, 70% doubted the account, according to the British Marketing Research Bureau.

Almost of quarter of people who described themselves as Christians shared their scepticism.

St Helen's Church in Bishopsgate, London, which commissioned the survey, has produced a film of "sound evidence" supporting the Bible's account.

More than a fifth of Christians who answered said they did not believe Jesus was both God and Man - another central tenet of Christianity.
