Rejoice! UK Survey Finds That Christianity is More Unpopular Than Ever
By Hemant Mehta, July 11, 2019

In a bit of good news from the UK, fewer people than ever before are identifying as Christian, according to newly released data from the 36th annual British Social Attitudes report.

The survey found that more than half of people (52%) no longer affiliate with an organized religion, with most of those people saying they weren’t raised with faith. (Second generation Nones!) More importantly, they’re not even half-assed Nones, who are apathetic about religion. The survey found that there has been a rise in the number of Nones who say they are “very” or “extremely” unreligious. 33% said that, compared to only 14% who felt the same way in 1998.

That’s a sign of a backlash against organized religion and its consequences.

The percentage of self-proclaimed Christians has dropped from 66% in 1983, when the survey was first conducted, to 38% today.

1. Good

Let's see the same statistics for the U.S. I'd be curious to see how our country shapes up with this kind of analysis.
