It’s a false narrative peddled by the media. I’m not going to lie, it’s not what it should be. However, we are officially a Christian country with nearly 60% of the population being Christian according to the most recent census data. There has been a rise in Christian’s over the past few years, especially amongst the young, reversing the trend of decline. The church trips are for religious education. Schoolchildren regularly sing hymns and/or Christian themed songs in school assemblies, alongside saying the Lord’s Prayer. It’s not as bad as it seems, thankfully.
