Pie Chart

This dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify usual residents in England and Wales by religion. The estimates are as at Census Day, 21 March 2021.

Summary

The religion people connect or identify with (their religious affiliation), whether or not they practice or have belief in it.

This question was voluntary and includes people who identified with one of 8 tick-box response options, including ‘No religion’, alongside those who chose not to answer this question.

Religion: Total: All usual residents	315,399
No religion	115,999
Christian	138,206
Buddhist	3,400
Hindu	6,579
Jewish	866
Muslim	23,502
Sikh	762
Other religion	2,356
Not answered	23,729

These values are calculated by adding up the values for census output areas contained within Lewisham. They may, therefore, be slightly inaccurate due to administrative boundaries not precisely aligning with census boundaries.
