From Religion Media Centre:
One in three people in Britain believe in angels and the same proportion feel they have a guardian angel watching over them, according to a poll commissioned by the Bible Society.
Another study by the think tank Theos found in 2012 that even one in five people (21 per cent) who never attend a religious service believe in angels. While the most recent data are still a few years old, observers believe the trend has likely grown further — not just in Britain but across the western world. In fact, research in the United States reveals that about seven in 10 people there believe in angels to some extent.
Lorna Byrne, Irish author of bestselling memoir Angels in My Hair, agrees. A spiritual teacher and philanthropist, Byrne has been seeing angels since early childhood. “They are there to help us and guide us in the world,” she told the RMC.
