Thats 300% to You and Me
The the 2011 Census reveals that numbers of Christians fell from 37.3 million in 2001 to 33.2 million last year.

statistics emerged as the Archbishop of Canterbury claimed that English
cathedral congregations had grown dramatically in recent years,
debunking the “cliche” that the Church of England is fading away.

showing a significant rise in the number of foreign-born residents
living in England and Wales. This has increased by 13%, from 4.6 million
to 7.5 million.
