3. Changing Society
In 2011, London was the most diverse region. The North East and the North West had the highest proportion of Christians and Wales had the highest proportion of people reporting no religion.
This demonstrates the increase in diversity, especially in important areas such as London

4. Religion In Our Region
Knowsley was the local authority with the highest proportion of people reporting to be Christians at 80.9% and Tower Hamlets had the highest proportion of Muslims at 34.5% (over seven times the England and Wales figure).
However, this shows that tolerance towards other religions is important as people may be fearful to voice their true religions at risk of not being accepted into society
