Just looking at the data it appears to me the decline is mostly due to the "no religion" gain and not the influx of other religions.

"The Office for National Statistics (ONS) results show that 46.2 per cent of the population (27.5 million people) described themselves as 'Christian' in 2021. This marks a 13.1 percentage point decrease from 59.3 per cent (33.3 million people) in 2011.

The census data also shows that every major religion increased over the ten-year period, except for Christianity.

Despite this decrease, 'Christian' remained the most common response to the question about religion. 'No religion' was the second most common response, increasing to 37.2 per cent (22.2 million) from 25.2 per cent (14.1 million) across the ten-year period."

That aside and the following comment about US immigration, I would point out those US immigrants referred to are likely Christian which is what the topic is about.

"I can understand where you and your country are. We in the United States are facing the same situation with those from South America and Mexico. With the huge influx of numbers coming in, this isn't immigration. This is an invasion where the U.S citizenry is being made responsible for them, against our collective will.


The rules need to be changed to not favor any kind of immigration. Unfortunately, with the Democrats, This isn't happening any time soon."
