71.8% according to the 2001 census :)
I was actually really shocked by this, I'd have thought it would be much lower!

While a larger number of people will quote their religion as Church of England etc. The number of practising christians is around 4-6%. This means that a far lower proportion of UK citizens are brain dead compared to the 33% in the US.

A practising Christian is presumably one who hasn't yet got it right. So that would account for all those who regularly attend Church, since followers of Christianity believe that Jesus was the only true Christian.

depends what you mean by practising. Regular church attendance is around 4% and belief in a personal god is just over 50% though its not necessarily the Christian god.
And a census form forces you to tick a box, other surveys that put the figure at around 50-55% are more reliable.

it fairly is stressful to declare. maximum British human beings have an association to the church, besides the undeniable fact that do not evaluate themselves to be Christians. in actuality, purely 35% of British human beings have self belief in God, something are Atheist or Agnostic. i could say purely in actuality approximately 20% are Christians, or maybe much less.

I never take statistics seriously but I would suggest very few. Still, enough to be salt and light in the rest of society!

According to the UK Government statistics 72% claim to be christian. It is not really known how many are really believers and practice religion.

33% of those questioned describing themselves as "a religious person". A clear majority, 63%, say that they are not religious - including more than half of those who describe themselves as Christian.
Older people and women are the most likely to believe in a god, with 37% of women saying they are religious, compared with 29% of men....

U.K. claim 75%, as does the U.S., but we know that the U.S. does not have 75% attending churches.
