Is Britain a Christian Country?

Historically, Britain has strong Christian foundations that have shaped its institutions, traditions, and national identity. The Church of England remains the established church, the monarch is its Supreme Governor, and Christian festivals and ceremonies still play a visible role in public life. These features mean Christianity continues to influence Britain at a symbolic and constitutional level.

However, modern Britain is increasingly secular and religiously diverse. Fewer people now identify as Christian, and many citizens do not practise any religion at all. As a result, while Britain retains Christian roots, it is better understood today as a diverse society rather than a clearly Christian country.
