About this eBook
Essay from the year 2005 in the subject Economics - Case Scenarios, grade: 2,0, University of Cooperative Education Mannheim, language: English, abstract: Religion In general it can be said that the official religion in England is Christianity. The Christian church is called Anglican Church or Church of England to which most English people belong to. It was founded during the reign of King Henry VIII when England split from the Roman Catholic Church (cf. Morrison, 1994, p. 109). Besides the Christians there are a lot of other religions represented, which can be seen in the following table (cf. Tab. 1). Tab. 1: Religions in England [table only in downloadfile] http://www.statistics.gov.uk/CCI/nugget.asp?ID=293&Pos=7&ColRank=1&Rank=176) The table shows that there are about 6 different religions in England. Over three-quarters reported to have a religion. 72 % said, that they were Christians. After Christianity, Islam was the second largest religion represented in England with 1.6 million Muslims. Next religious group are the Hindus, followed by the Sikhs, Jews, Buddhists and people from other religions (cf. Author unknown http://www.statistics.gov.uk/cci/nugget.asp?id=395). Besides it is very interesting to see which ethnic background these religions have. Even the population is very diverse, it can be clearly stated, that the most important fact is that the majority of the Christians were white. The majority of black people as well as those from mixed ethnic backgrounds can be identified as Christians (cf. Author unknown http://www.statistics.gov.uk/CCI/nugget.asp?ID=293&Pos=7&ColRank=1&Rank=176). The following total overview shows the various ethnic backgrounds of the earlier stated religions (cf. Fig. 1). Fig. 1: Ethnicity and Religion in England [figure only in downloadfile]
