Ethnic and Religious Comparisons - England and America

Demographic comparisons between England and Wales and America in terms of religiosity and ethnicity. Note that the label 'american' on the US map largely means 'mixed ethnicity' and that the US census was done in 2000 instead of 2011 for England and that mixed, hispanic and asian populations in the US are now much larger. Also don't rely on the colours too much in the English maps as percentage indexes tend to vary, mixed race for example appears dark and very dense but it's because its second-largest index is a very small percentage (1-4%). Take those into account.

According to 2010 and 2011 censuses America's original ethnicity (that is if you consider white europeans as its original ethnicity, which admittedly is debatable) accounts for 65% of its population, compared to Britain's 85% white British, or 91% with non-British Europeans.

White British:



White Irish:



White Other (Europeans and people from the Old Commonwealth):



Mixed:



Asian (Everything from the Middle East to South Asia):



Chinese:



Black:



U.S.:



UK Religion:

According to the British Social Attitudes Survey 51% of the population is non-religious, 43% Christian and 6% of various other faiths, Islam being the biggest minority religion somewhere between 3 and 4%. No map for religions in England but using the white British map appropriately (percentage-wise) for non-religiousness and Christianity and the Asian map for Islam and the rest should give you a good idea of the situation.

US Religion:

Christianity (59.9% to 78.4%)

Unaffiliated, including atheist or agnostic (15.0% to 37.3%)

Judaism (1.2% to 2.2%)

Islam (0.6% )

Buddhism (0.5% to 0.9%)

Hinduism (0.4%)

Other (1.2% to 1.4%)

  • No way are 43% of the UK "Christian", they perhaps tick the box on a form but they do not believe in God.

    Religion exerts no influence whatsoever on UK - or Western European politics, compared to America, where hopeful candidates have to extoll their religiosity in order to win votes - quite disturbing.

    • @passive_observer

      In surveys, only 22% of people in UK selected NON religion while over 71% selected Christian even if non practicing.

      Yeah, I'd agree. But a generation
      back many kids were taught to just
      say 'Church of England' if asked
      what religion they were, so as not
      to upset the fruit and nut cakes.

      Also nowadays many people say they
      believe in a god but not religion
      (Even though religion is where the
      idea of a god came from.) I guess
      we're in a transitional period... ?

      @MB-UK
      I wasn't referencing the data provided in the post but rather the 2001 UK census, a real survey, if YOU bothered to ask.

    • @fido321 You'll find they're either the same person or all the same group, like _AL_ (cALlme6 et el) and all his accounts and the sheep that follow him.

      Seems none of them can be their own self, they all have the mindset that they have to follow a master. They all have to be either on one side or the other like some kindergarten ball game.

  • How many Swami Tuggingmypuddha disciples are there in Michigan ?

  • WOW

    lot more German descendants in USA
    than i thought

    Interesting to Note Mid-West (dust bowl) has HIGH % of religious people. Yet coasts do not.
    Reason for high %, praying for rain?
    Mid west is very dependent on weather, something people cant control.
    Create/depend on an outside force to make them feel comfortable/stable Hence religious strong hold?
