Scotland goes secular

 


A majority of Scots do not belong to a religion.

In the Scottish Household Survey 2019 annual report, which Scotland's chief statistician published on Tuesday, 56% of adults reported that they did not belong to any religion.

The figure, which stood at just 40% in 2009 and has risen by four per cent since the 2018 report.

 The proportion of adults who say they belong to the Church of Scotland has sharply declined since 2009, from 34% to 20%.

It will be a great day in the US, if we ever have a majority secular society. It won't happen in my lifetime. Good for the people of Scotland!
