Are we living in a Christian country?

New figures show the number of people who say they have no religion is rapidly escalating

Is it time to stop calling the UK a Christian country? New figures show the number of people who say they have no religion is rapidly escalating and significantly outweighs the Christian population in England and Wales. And while the number of people identifying as Christian here in Northern Ireland is higher - the 麻豆社's cross border survey back in November showed that church attendance for those who worship at least once a week was only 36% for those from a Catholic background and 25% from those from a Protestant background.

Our poll also found that only 14% of those attending church were under 50.

Is it still right to call the UK a Christian country or is it time to accept we are a secular society?

Commentator and humanist Brian McClinton and Peter Lynas from the Evangelical Alliance join Nolan.
