Nearly half of Britons raised Catholic or Protestant no longer identify with the denomination they were brought up in. Survey results from the Pew Research Center shows that 51 per cent of respondents in Britain said they had been raised Protestant but only 31 per cent still identified as such. Catholic affiliation also fell, from 16 per cent raised in the faith to 11 per cent in adulthood.
Of those who left Christianity altogether, the overwhelming majority did not convert to another religion but instead became religiously unaffiliated.
