Less than half of the population in England and Wales consider themselves Christian, according to new census figures.

This is the first time that those who believe in the country's official religion are in the minority.

Great Britain has become less religious and the number of white people in the country has fallen, according to 2021 data published by the Office for National Statistics.

Some 46.2 percent of the population in England and Wales consider themselves Christian in the 2021 census, down from 59.3 percent in the census a decade ago.

The number of Muslim population has increased from 4.9 percent to 6.5 percent, while 1.7 percent believe in Hinduism.

More than one in three people, 37 percent, said they did not belong to any religion, compared to 25 percent in 2011.

The other countries of the United Kingdom, Scotland and Northern Ireland, publish their data separately.

Campaigners for the separation of religion and state say the change should prompt analysis of how religion is embedded in British society.

Church of England schools are funded by the state and members of the church establishment have seats in the Upper House of Parliament. The kingdom also protects the faith.

Around 82 per cent of the population in England and Wales identified themselves as white in the census, up from 86 per cent in 2011. 9 per cent said they were Asian, 4 per cent black and 3 per cent from mixed ethnic backgrounds, while 2 % from other ethnic groups.
