People in England in Wales were more likely to tick Christian because they were christened, brought up to think of themselves as religious, because their parents were Christian or because of their ethnic background, or because they believed 'this is a Christian country'.
In other words, the majority ticked Christian out of cultural affiliation or heritage. This is the problem in a nutshell: The Census results are a reflection of Britain’s past, but they are used by Government to allocate resources & make plans for the future (faith schools etc).
