Lesser-known religious movements in England and Wales, as shown in the 2021 Census

How will these resources help you?

Since 2001, some form of question about the respondent's religion has been included in the UK Government Census. With three sets of data on this now available we are able to see trends and patterns of belief and non-belief in England and Wales. In 2021, those identifying as 'Christian' was lower than 50 per cent for the first time. Many resources on the main religions are available to teachers of religion and worldviews. The resources here are aimed at helping teachers to approach some of the lesser-known religions mentioned in the Census. The list unpacks the tools used by ONS to gather the data and offers resources that enable teachers to explore religions with growing numbers of followers.
