Interesting news that less than 50% of the UK population now define themselves as Christian. The vast majority of people I know haven’t been to church since their aunty got married in 1993, so I’m surprised it’s taken this long!

The headline on this piece is potentially misleading, because it implies Christianity is a 'minority' religion.

Christianity is by far the largest UK religious group at 46.2% of the population (a stat bizarrely not mentioned in the article).

The 'minority' issue stems from rising numbers identifying as "no religion", 37.2%.

The 2nd biggest 'religion' is Islam at 6.5%.

Headline writers need to be much more sensitive when framing stories like this.
