Did Victorians believe in Jesus

Answer 1

only when its Christmas time

For the purpose of this question I am assuming that a "Victorian" means an adult living during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901), and usually refers to a subject of the British Empire.

Christianity was introduced to the British Isles in the 6th (and possibly some evidence from the 3rd) century and it became the established religion of the country during the reign of Henry VIII in 1534. Expulsions and suppressions of other religions and religious groups led to a nominally homogenious religious society in the United Kingdom.

It is therefore reasonable to assume that most people living in Britain were Christians.

If we also assume that by "believe in Jesus" the question means "believe that Jesus was the son of God, Christ, the Messiah" and that this belief is central to being a Christian, it is reasonable to say that most Victorians believed in Jesus.

It is however also true to say that there were many Jews, Atheists and others alive in the Victorian period, who might have considered themselves Victorian, but who did not believe in Jesus.

Answer 2

Yes, the majority of Victorians identified as Christians and believed in Jesus as the Son of God and the Savior. Christianity played a central role in Victorian society, influencing both personal beliefs and social norms.
