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.

CW: Awful journalism, dogwhistles
"People who said they had no religion increased by 12 percentage points, while the number of people identifying as Muslim increased by 1.2 million."
That '12 percentage points' equates to 6 million people, but which sounds like more?
How hard would it be to let readers easily compare like with like?

#UKCensus I wonder what they do with the 'briefly describe what you do in your main job' field - I'd love to see the variety of answers for those of us who class ourselves as computer programmers or Software Engineers.
