Christians Now a Minority in England and Wales According to Census Data

This is what it looks like when your country collapses.

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.
