London: The population of Christians in Britain is declining rapidly these days, while the population of Muslims is registering a sharp increase. If we look at the population figures released on Tuesday (November 29), the population of Christians in England and Wales has been reduced to less than half of the total population for the first time. According to the latest census data from the Office for National Statistics, the population of Muslims in Britain has increased by 44 percent in the last 10 years. Of the total population of Britain, 6.5 percent i.e. 3.9 million (3900000) people are Muslims. It has also been seen in the report that after Christians in Britain, the population of 'no religion' ie 'does not follow any religion' is on the second.

According to reports, a decline of 13.1 percent has been registered in the population of Christians in Britain.

This is the first time in the history of Britain that the population of Christians has remained less than half. According to the Office for National Statistics, the population of Christians in England and Wales has decreased to 46.2 percent. In this case, Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell has told that it is really shocking that the population of Christians in Britain has decreased rapidly. He said, ''In the midst of the ongoing war in Europe and the crisis of living and food, people need religious help. We are there for them. In many cases, we provide food and other assistance to those in need. Lakhs of people come to church on Christmas and seek our help.''

According to the report, the 2021 census has found that around 10 percent of UK households now have members from at least two different ethnic groups. There has been an increase of 8.7 percent in these. The city of Harrow, north of the UK capital London, has the highest percentage of Hindu population at 25.8%, up from 25.3% in 2011.
