Abstract:

This paper examines the gap between the relatively high percentage who

professed to be Christian in the 2001 U.K. Population Census and the much

smaller percentage who attend church, and the causes for this disparity, by

examining the possible reasons for those ticking ‘Christian’ and other statistics

from a wide variety of sources which may be taken to affirm the Census figure.

The implications of such a large difference are also considered by reference to

the religious structure of the population.
