Actual organised worship may be in serious decline but the majority of the population still claim to be religious. |
Interestingly, there are many who flippantly answer 'Christian', even when they do not believe in God - to many it's just a 'traditional' label or seen as part of our heritage.
Unless there are extremely high concentrations of theists in pockets of the nation I am yet to visit, I just can't see how Atheists can be in the minority in the UK.
