ewly released figures from the British Social Attitudes (BSA) survey confirm that church attendance in Britain remains below pre-Covid levels and that there are no signs of a revival among young people.
The data – published by the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) – shows that within Britain’s adult population, only 5% attend a Christian service weekly – down from 8% in 2018.
Only 4% of under 35s attend a Christian service at least once a week – consistent with figures since 2017 which have ranged from 3% to 5%.
Even among those who identify as Christians, only one in eight (13%) say they attend a religious service at least once a week – well below the 20% recorded in 2018 before the outbreak of Covid and similar to the 12% recorded during the pandemic in 2021.
