context_page_description: The demography of Liverpool is officially analysed by the Office for National Statistics. The City of Liverpool—together with the Metropolitan Boroughs of Knowsley, Sefton, St Helens, and Wirral—forms the metropolitan county of Merseyside. With a population of around 466,400, Liverpool is the largest settlement in the county, and the sixth largest in the United Kingdom.
context_section_description: According to the 2001 census, 79.5% of the city's population followed Christianity, 1.4% Islam, 0.6% Judaism, 0.3% Buddhism, 0.3% Hindu, and 0.1% Sikhism. Just over 0.1% of individuals belonged to another faith whilst, 9.7% claimed to be non-religious and 8.1% did not state any religion. The thousands of migrants and sailors passing through Liverpool resulted in a religious diversity that is still apparent today. This is reflected in the equally diverse collection of religious buildings, and two Christian cathedrals.
