Official statistics show that 51% of the general population adheres to Christianity, more women than men. London is the most religiously diverse region in the UK.
The number of people who define themselves as Christians in England and Wales has fallen to 51%, a 8% decrease since the 2011 census.
New data published by the Office for National Statistics shows that while 71.4% of women and 61% of men aged between 60 and 69 adhere to Christianity, the number falls to 35% when young people aged between 20 and 29 are asked.
“No religion” is now the most common answer among children (under 9): 42%, teenagers (10-19): 42%, and young people (20-29): 52%.
In the overall population, the group of those who say they have no religion grew from 31% in the 2011 to 38% in 2019.
Muslims are close to 6% of the population in England and Wales and Hindus under 2%.
London is clearly more religiously active than other parts of the country. One in four people living in the capital city say they have a religion other than Christianity. 14% say they are Muslims. Only 29% of people in London say they have no religion.

I pray their children will not be forced into Islam.
I have a feeling, no good will come of this.
That means they’re progressive liberals.
The snowflakes are going to miss being surrounded by people who believe in nonsense like “thou shalt not steal” and “thou shalt not murder.”
Oh they have a religion. It’s called nihilism. Of course there are other variants.
This goes back to 1969 at least:
We’re not gonna take it
Never did and never will
Don’t want no religion
And as far as we can tell
Why would they have to be forced? As Chesterton wisely observed, those who stand for nothing will fall for anything.
yeah, and the other half are goathumpers...
“When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing. They then become capable of believing in anything.” — Émile Cammaerts
That won’t stop them from going to hell because that is the default destination for everyone.
It will not end well for them!
🎵 Imagine all the people …
Ideal slaves for Muslims!
The Bible teaches us not to swoon over people based on their high status in society, and warns us about wickedness in high places. People who don’t believe in religion are much more likely to do this kind of swooning. I witness it with people that I know.
