The 2021 Census figures for religion have been published, and 40.5% of people in Swindon ticked ‘No religion’. This is a rise from 31% in 2011.

This makes Swindon less religious than England and Wales as a whole.

I suspect that in the past, many people described themselves as Church of England even the non-churchgoers. #Religion #Census2021 #christianity #HumanistsUK

#introduction Lucky enough to leave full time work in late ‘19, I find fulfilment now as a #humanist #funeral #celebrant accredited by #HumanistsUK. Life in #lincolnshire is good, if frustrating due to the right wing nature of local #politics. Confused, but enjoying it here after the horrors of the other place. Unlikely to become a frequent poster, but who knows. Come and say hello. Like #gardening and #nature. Desperate to save the planet, but hypocritical in that I still ride my #motorbike.
