message: The article is dealing with religion in the UK but the pie chart on the right only refers to England+Wales ignoring Scotland and Northern Ireland. 93.206.50.169 (talk) 01:05, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Misleading chart 

message: "The statistics for current religion (not religion of upbringing where also asked) from the 2011 census and the corresponding statistics from the 2001 census are set out in the tables below."
1) The 'tables below' now include the 2021/22 census (sic - sc 2021 census?) so the above seems to need amending to reflect that.
2) "not religion of upbringing where also asked" is semantically tortuous. Couldn't this simply read "not religion of upbringing"? The fact that the question may or may not have been asked is parenthetical as the figures aren't shown anyway. If the author wants to make that point then I suggest "not religion of upbringing (which was also asked about in some censuses)" as better. 82.46.163.160 (talk) 13:04, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sillyism 

message: In the article:
"The 2022 Talking Jesus report (a partnership between Alpha, the Evangelical Alliance, HOPE Together, Luis Palau Association and Kingsgate Community Church) describes the current state of faith in the UK: 48% of the population described themselves as 'Christian' of which 6% described themselves as 'practising Christians'."
is cited to the Talking Jesus report 2022.
What are peoples opinion of this source?
My thoughts:
Pro: Savanta ComRes is a market research bureau that has experience with polling and statistics. Their methodology is mentioned and seems fine. The sample sizes are big enough. The numbers are similar to the census data (England and Wales,2022).
Contra: Savanta is not well known for polling about religion (like Pew or even Ipsos). The study was commissioned by Christian groups and they have a clear pro-christian bias, that is also clear from the text. Christians are combined (so we don't know the percentage of Catholics or Anglicans.)  We have better sources like the census, other polling data... The article has a problem with too many haphazard sources. 
 
I would suggest removal of this paragraph and the source. 2A02:1810:BC3A:D800:2C4C:C70:1403:C41C (talk) 15:32, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
