What is the religion distribution in Britain?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, only 3-4% of English people attend a Christian church compared to some 92% in the US. However; many people accept the C.O.E. (Church of England) "tag" put on their birth certificate by their parent/s. And of course; all the other couple thousand Christian denominations/groups and the like are represented. Official figures of 12% overall immigrants are highly disputed by the population, so it is difficult to ascertain the certainty of their religious contribution to English society. But, obviously; as this group is divided up, there are the respective Asian Muslims and Hindus. Coloured folk's faith depends somewhat on their country of origin, with some being Christian, and other's Muslim. There is a growing Muslim population among whites, but there is also an avid interest in Buddhism. There are some Druids, Wicans and followers of margin belief systems, even satanists. But, by far; the national state religion of England is Atheism. That is not to say that people don't believe. Only that the English seem happier than some to keep it as a private affair between them and God, and not to be so outward in their views. It is considered impolite in some circles to discuss religion, as well as politics and sport as these are often sources of great debate and argument. Some view other's countries great public show of faith as "ramming it down your throat" whilst others grieve for the lack of more outward testimony, almost envying them.
