RELIGION / BELIEFS
List: Top Ten Religious beliefs in England and Wales
Date: 2001
Source: British Census 2001
Base: Adult Population of England and Wales.
Notes: 7,272,290 adults registered 'None'. The popularity of 'Jedi Knight' can partly be attributed to an Internet and word-of-mouth campaign popular amongst students and the younger generation of British adults that ran just before the census was due to be held. 'The Force' is therefore strong on the island of Britain.
