Reply to comment by Taino41 in For The First Time, Less Than Half Of UK's Population Is Christian: Report by khushraho

Islam is second.

Edit: Why am I being downvoted? This is a correct statement. If you read something beyond it, that's on you. Says more about you than it says about me.

The tldr summary says:

  • Christian 46.2%

  • No religion 37.2%

  • Muslim 6.5%

That is a distant third, although Christianity will probably catch up (down?) with the trajectory 'No religion' is on.

They'd probably meet halfway, before Muslim overtakes Christian. The Muslim trajectory is up - 6.5% compared to the 4.9% it had in the previous census.

Yeah but a lot of that is immigration. The interesting question is the trend of religious affiliation of 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants.

Fact - Islam population increases from 9.5% (1951) to 14.2% (2011) in India. Good luck UK.

Boris once called Muslim women "letter boxes", in public, and got away with it with zero backlash.

I think the UK's attitude towards religion will hold up.
