Religion in decline as census figures reveal there are 4million fewer Christians and one in four is now an atheist

Data from last year's census today revealed the stunning decline of religion in the UK - with the number of Christians dropping by more than 4million. Just 59.3 per cent of people in England and Wales now describe themselves as followers of Christianity, raising the prospect that Christians could soon be in the minority. Following a decade of aggressive anti-religious campaigning by high-profile atheists, a quarter of Britons now say they have no faith. In addition to the huge spike in atheists, the proportion of Muslims has risen from 3.0 per cent to 4.8 per cent since 2001.
