I explained in the post you replied to Evie.
Ok here are some survey results. (The ones I heard spoken are commercial research). You can believe what you see with your eyes now Evie
http://www.vexen.co.uk/UK/religion.html
In 2005:
"6.3% of the population go to church on an average Sunday"
"29% of churchgoers are 65 or over"
"Sunday churchgoing is declining at 2.3% per year"
"Nearly all Church 'growth' is due to immigrants"
"“Children who do not come from churchgoing homes - as I did not - now grow up largely ignorant of Christian ideas in a way unimaginable half a century ago. [...] The comments about religion by journalists in the press and on television [...] suggest that even the basic Christian ideas are no longer understood by university-educated people, still less by others. Indeed even churchgoers can reveal an ignorance of the main elements of Christian belief.”
"C of E: The State It's In" by Monica Furlong (2000)19"
"Christianity is the Established Religion in the UK
One single general trend can be brought out of all the statistics of religious belief in the UK: Our population is mostly irreligious, innocent and ignorant of religion, and despite some defaulting to calling themselves "Christian" (71%), the country is not Christian despite a vague 50% lingering belief in a God of some sort. Just over 6% of the population go to church on a Sunday (for every 6 who do, 94 do not)."
