The UK Right-Wing parties are going hard today on how the UK is a Christian country. The thing is we're actually an A-Religious country. 30% say they have no religion when asked. 30% were brought up in a faith but haven't though about it since they were 10. 20% know what to do in a place of worship, but only ever go for weddings and funerals. Which leaves 10% who are just getting old.

It's not that we're Atheist. We're A-Religious. We're simply not interested and don't care.

> Church of England’s identity falls to just one in 10 of the general population

> We must stop treating the non-religious as a demographic absence and recognise them as a community with a positive, ethical worldview
