International Survey Looks at Conspiracy Beliefs

A fascinating new survey on conspiracy beliefs in nine different  countries is said to be the largest study of its kind and has produced  some truly thought-provoking results. Conducted by the organization  YouGov at the behest of England's University of Cambridge, the exhaustive project polled 11,000 people throughout the United States, Britain, Poland,  Italy, France, Germany, Portugal, Sweden, and Hungary regarding their  thoughts on an array of conspiracy theories.

The different proposed scenarios put forward in the survey are  indicative of the current state of conspiracy culture in that a number  of them centered around more political and less fantastic ideas. For  example, respondents were asked about the possibility that "man-made  global warming is a hoax," that their government is "hiding the truth"  about the number of immigrants in their country, and that there are  concealed dangers in vaccines. 

That said, there were a handful of 'classic' conspiracies included in  the mix such as theory that there is an Illuminati, for lack of a better  term, that secretly controls the world. At least ten percent of the  people in all nine countries expressed a belief in this shadowy cabal  with Portugal topping all other countries when it came to that question  with a sizeable 42% of the people responding in the affirmative. For  those keeping score at home, a mere 17 percent of Americans expressed  belief in this particular theory.
