After decades of Christianity declining in Britain — falling to such an extent that the 2021 census found that Christians had become a minority in England and Wales amid the rise of atheism and Islam — there appears to be an indication of a trend reversal and possible revival of the faith in the United Kingdom.
According to YouGov’s tracker of religious belief, conducted twice per year, the number of 18 to 24-year-olds professing belief in God rose from 16 per cent in August of 2021 to 45 per cent as of January of this year, representing a 181 per cent increase in just three and a half years, GB News reported.
A smaller, but still significant, increase was also registered among those aged between 25 and 49 years old, with the tracker recording a jump from 21 per cent in 2021 to 33 per cent in 2025.
This has coincided with a 56 per cent rise in those who attend church at least once a month between 2018 and 2024, with the number of regular churchgoers increasing from 3.7 million to 5.8 million.
