reincarnation or an afterlife) is not reliant on the practice of formalised religion or the perception of ones self as religious. The
data for this has been collected from a sample of 60, 30 respondents who classify themselves as religious and 30 who classify themselves as not religious. The sample were asked
a series of questions, would they class themselves as religious, do they attend a formal place of worship and do they believe in life after death. There is plenty of
scope for this to be extended. Both sets of respondents have been as stratified as possible to give a representation of society so that the results can be applied to
a broader sample range. The survey was carried out individually, in each case the same definitions were given for each classification.
