The decline of religious belief in the UK has affected Christianity a lot as it is now believed that Christianity is loosing ground ahead of any other Religion. Although the progress is slow, and inconsistent, but it is happening.
The British Social Attitudes survey, an annual process, tracked the moment in 2013 when the Church of England’s practising community fell below 50% of the total population. This year’s BSA study recorded 48% of participants to have “no religion” at all.
YouGov found over half of millennials had “no religion”; 38% of those not believing in any God or “greater spiritual power” whatsoever. More recent BSA findings found 62% of younger people (under 25) identify as “non-believers”, which was actually a drop from 65%, the year before. That same poll noted that 41% of young, British people in the study also felt that religion was “the cause of evil, rather than good” in the world.
