- Perhaps the most striking finding for 2001 is how many people still described themselves
as Christian, over 70% nationally, as compared to 16% claiming 'none'.
The same is true of most individual areas: you have to look hard for the areas
where under 50% of the population claim to be Christian, and they are mainly in the large cities.
The two lowest percentages are for Tower Hamlets in London (39%) and Leicester (45%),
and these figures are explained by concentrations of Muslims and Hindus.
The most Christian district in Britain, according to these census figures,
was St. Helens in Lancashire (87%).
