As of 2007
BBC report 2 April 2007
Source pdf

Only 15% are regular Church goers (at least once per month)
A further 7% are occasional (more than 6 times a year)
3% are "fringe" (once a year)
5% Go to weddings, funerals and baptisms and might go to church again
1% do not go to the ceremonies but might go to church again
6% follow other religions


A total of 37% admitted or possible faithful.

Now check the British Social Attitudes survey graph from Wikipedia dated 2009. 50.7% identify as "no religion", 43.7% say Christian, 5% other, non-Christian with 0.5% not sayng.
