The graphs show that under 20 people do not beliebe in god however nearly 30 people celebrate Christmas. The words people assosiate with christmas has also helped our group with the mise en scene for interviews and the opening credits such as in the interview with someone who does not beleive in God but celebrates Christmas we used a picture of santa and some tinsel as these were both words people assosiate with christmas.
