These questions ask the person to record their religion. In Scotland there is
a separate question asking for the religion the person was brought up in. In
Northern Ireland, people who do not regard themselves as belonging to any
religion are asked to record the religion they were brought up in. A write-in is
provided where the persons religion is not provided as a tick box response.
Although the questions differ between England and Wales and Northern Ireland the
same detailed codes are used to code the write-in responses. The full list of
codes will be available for commissioned output. Write-in answers are not coded
in Scotland.
Missing answers will not be imputed so the classifications
include a 'not stated' category.
The most detailed classifications used
in standard output are:
