What is the biggest church in Belgium?
A top of my head answer, a bit disjointed I'm afraid:
In terms of real estate the largest by far is the Church of England (Anglican) and in Scotland the Church of Scotland (Presbyterian). Attendance on the other hand is small in spite of them being the official religion. The Anglican church of St. Mary Redcliffe in Bristol is thought to be the largest parish church in England.
By attendance due to the influx of workers from Eastern Europe and a significant population of Irish descent it is the Roman Catholic Church. In terms of church attendance the UK could be considered a Catholic Country.
Bucking the trend of decline are the "Happy Clappy" Pentecostal types.
