London CNN — England and Wales are no longer majority Christian, and are slightly less White than a decade ago, newly released 2021 census data show.

The two British nations have fallen from 59% self-described Christian in 2011 to 46% in 2021, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) announced Tuesday.

The number of respondents saying they had no religion was the biggest gainer, rising from 25% a decade ago to 37% now.

There was also a rise in the number of Muslims, from 5% in 2011 to 6.5% in 2021.

The percentage of respondents saying they were Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, Sikh, or other stayed roughly stable over the decade, ONS data show.

England is legally a Christian country with an established church, the Church of England, with the monarch as its titular head.

The religion question on the 2021 census was voluntary. ONS said 94% of respondents answered it, up a fraction from 93% a decade ago.

The percentage of people identifying as White fell slightly, from 86% in 2011 to 82% in 2021.

People identifying themselves as Asian – a term that British people generally use to refer to South Asian nations including India, Pakistan and Bangladesh – made up the second largest group, rising from 7.5% in 2011 to 9.3% in 2021.

The number of people identifying as Black rose from 1.8% a decade ago to 2.5% now, while the percentage choosing “Other” climbed from 0.6% to 1.6% over the decade.

Nine out of 10 respondents (90%) in 2021 identified themselves with one of the United Kingdom’s national identities – English, Welsh, Scottish, Northern Irish, British or Cornish – down slightly from 92% in 2011.

Polish was the most common non-UK response, at 1%, followed by Romanian at 0.8%. Indian was selected by 0.6% of respondents, while Irish and Italian were each chosen by 0.5%. The census recorded similar patterns in the number of people who said they spoke Polish, Romanian, Panjabi and Urdu.

The census covers only England and Wales, two of the four nations that make up the UK. Scotland and Northern Ireland each have their own census.

I guess it fits they have a Muslim king.

RE: I guess it fits they have a Muslim king.

When did Charles convert to Islam?

[nickcarraway]

He's never admitted it. But their have been many threads on FR over the last 20 years saying he (and William) have already converted to Islam. His ex-wife was in the process when she dies.

For what it's worth, Charles and his mother covered up multi-decade sexual abuse of minors in the U.K.

The royal family are globalists and have done nothing to preserve British culture exporting the third into Britain. The real royal line ended with James II. Supposedly, Elizabeth II is a descendent of Mohammed.

From the start of exporting Pakistanis and Indian men as counselors and foster parents of young girls in foster care homes going back to the late 70s. British people have posted that they are now putting white children into Muslim homes in the foster care system.

The Weat is being destroyed and most whites pretend it’s no big deal. As if the West will still be the West.

It's not just the UK, but the whole world is rapidly headed toward Human Sacrifice and Paganism. The reason, I say that, is that new lows and the moral goalposts are constantly shifting towards the worst these days.

The radical left is in ascendance and is removing and persecuting Christians and soon will be going after all forms of religion. Once Christianity is out of the way, then the others all will be fair game. This includes Moslems, Jewish, Eastern and others.

And with the children now being indoctrinated, it will be almost impossible to stop.

I don’t think Islam is the larger problem (it is a problem though).

The second largest group in the UK after Christians are the “no stated religion” group - these aren’t Muslims, these aren’t even athiests.

They are just “we don’t know”

I saw this in Belgium when I visited this summer - people have given up Christianity but replaced it with... nothing. Absolutely nothing. Not Islam, not new-ageism, not atheism, just nothingness.

That I found the most horrifying - they believe in nothing, they hold to no higher ideal, nothing. And the UK is heading that way.
