Faith & Belief in Torbay: who we are

The 2021 Census have just released their findings on Faith & Belief across the UK.

The number of Christians in the Bay has fallen significantly since the last Census in 2011 while those of us with ‘No Religion’ has increased.

For the first time in well over a thousand years Christians now make up less than half of the Bay’s population.
