Percentage with No Religion in 2021 for District/Unitary Authority
Given the low numbers actually attending church, it is perhaps surprising that so few claimed they had no religion in 2001, just over 15%. The geographical pattern for 'no religion' was largely a mirror image of the pattern for Christians, with lower numbers in the north than the south of England and, perhaps surprisingly, lower numbers in the cities than in rural areas. By 2021 the overall percentage had grown to over 35% nationally.
