Modern Britain is a multi-faith community, in which many religions are practised, but th emain religion is Christianity. *Freedom of worship is generally accepted, though in *Northern Ireland religious tensions contributed greatly to the *Troubles. It is said that as many as 75% adults believe in God, though only about church regularly. Many people are *christened, some get married in and many Christian funeral service, but otherwise they have little interest in religion. White British people rarely discuss religion and feel that a person's religious beliefs are a private matter.
