Secular Scotland

More Scots than ever have described themselves as having no religion, according to new research.
The Scottish Attitudes Survey, compiled by the independent research body ScotCen, found 58% of respondents said they had no religion at all. When the survey was carried out in 1999, the figure was 40%.
The Church of Scotland has seen the sharpest decline, with just 18% saying the belong to the Kirk. The Church of Scotland figure for 1999 was 35%. 
Researcher Ian Montagu said, "As each generation coming through is consistently less religious than the last, it is hard to imagine this trend coming to a halt in the near future."
