The number of followers of Islam has increased in the UK
Last year's census showed that the number of people identifying as Muslim has increased from 4.9% in 2011 to 6.5% in 2021 in England.
The statement said that during the census people were also asked about their ethnicity and origin.
It is carried out by the National Census Bureau after every 10 years.
On the other hand, for the first time in history the number of Christians is less than half of the total population of England and Wales.
The number of Christians has decreased, from 59.3% in 2011 to 46.2% in 2021.
In addition to the followers of Islam, the number of people who say they have no religion has increased, where they now make up 37.2% of the population.
