Religion in the United Kingdom and in the countries that preceded it has been dominated, for over 1,400 years, by various forms of Christianity. In 2011 nearly 60% identified themselves as Christians in the National Census 2011, 25.7% responded 'no religion', and 7.2% gave no answer. (7.6% of the population are Muslims, Hindus, and other religions).[1] In the 2015 BSA survey only 42% described themselves as Christian, whilst the majority (49%) of UK residents said they are of 'No Religion.[2][3] Trends are showing that fewer individuals are viewing religion positively, with 79% of people agreeing that religion is a cause of much misery and conflict in the world today.[4] Regular church attendance has steadily decreased since the middle of the twentieth century. Immigration has dampened the trend, and increased adherence to other religions.[5]
