Swiss shun religion for the supernatural...

While the number of religious people in Switzerland is on the decline, nearly two thirds of Swiss believe in the supernatural, according to a new survey.

The survey, carried out by Institut LINK on behalf of internet provider Swisscom, found that of the 1,253 people aged 15 to 74 who were interviewed, around two-thirds believed in the existence of “things that reason and science cannot explain.”

Some 24 percent believed in angels, 20 percent in miracles, 17 percent in telepathy, 14 percent in reincarnation and 13 percent in astrology.

Of those who said they believed in the supernatural, 16 percent of women and nine percent of men said they had had a supernatural experience themselves.

 More than two-thirds of the women and half of the men surveyed said they believed that some people have supernatural powers. Full story...
