Just 38% of those who responded now identify as a Christian. That’s the lowest number they’ve ever recorded. For some context, in 1998, 66% said they were Christians. In 2008, that number fell to 50%.
However, the new report does show growth in one part of the Christian community: nondenominational Christians. In fact, the number of nondenominational believers in the country is now roughly the same as those who are a part of the Church of England.
Another interesting finding was how many people almost never attend any kind of religious service: 66% said they “never attend religious services, apart from special occasions such as weddings, funerals and baptisms.”
