"Religious life in Britain in the past 30 years is characterized by an increasingly diverse patte of religious beliefs and affiliations. Although the UK is predominantly Christian, most of the world's religions are represented in the country. There are large Hindu, Jewish, Muslim and Sikh communities, and also smaller communities of Baha'is, Buddhists, Zoroastrians that are common in the areas with large ethnic communities.
Britain today may be characterized by considerable religious freedom, which allows one to belong to any religion or sect, including no religion at all. Churches and religious societies may own property, run schools and promote their beliefs in speech and writing. Religious discrimination is unlawful and there are no religious restrictions to the holding of public office — except that the monarch must always be a member of the Church of England". . .
