Christianity in the UK
"Christianity in the UK: The Newest Minority Religion"
From 1900 to 2020, UK membership of Christian churches fell from 33% to 9%. Although many Christians are not formal members, between 1989 and 2005, one third of all Christians in England stopped going to church on Sundays, leaving only 6% of the total population doing so. A 2007 poll found that Christians were the most inactive of all religious adherents. Between 1960 and 1985 the Church of England halved in size and from then to year 2000, 40% of their remaining flock stopped describing themselves as members. At some point since the 1930s, most Brits stopped believing in Christianity and at some point between the 1990s and 2011, most Brits stopped calling themselves Christian, except on the occasional official document where they think it's the "right answer".
