POLL: 6% Of Brits Say They Are “Practicing Christians”

The Christian Post reports:

Only 6% of people in the United Kingdom identify as Christians while 42% say they are non-practicing Christians, but one in three non-Christians say they want to know more about Jesus Christ, according to the report of a new survey, Talking Jesus.

As many as 70% of those who identify as Christians are white Brits, who represent 83% of the U.K.’s adult population, says the survey, adding that 25% of those who identify as Christians are from ethnic minorities although they represent only 12% of the U.K.’s adult population.

The survey of more than 3,000 U.K. adults, commissioned by five Christian organizations, also found that 4% of Brits identify as agnostics, and 12% as atheists.

The piece doesn’t specify how one qualifies as a “practicing Christian” but similar surveys have said that includes weekly church attendance.

The Talking Jesus survey takes place every five years. The 2022 survey lists 42% of Brits saying they are atheist, agnostic, or nones.
