Percentage Christian in 2021 for Modern (2024) Ward
Perhaps the most striking finding for 2001 was how many people still described themselves as Christian, over 70% nationally, as compared to 16% claiming 'none'. The same was true of most individual areas: you had to look hard for the areas where under 50% of the population claimed to be Christian, and they were mainly in the large cities. Since then the number of Christians has reduced and in 2021 was below 50% for the first time.
