Guardian: Census shows large rise in UK ethnic population

"Nearly 72% of people gave their religion as Christian (37 million) and the second largest faith was Islam with 1,547,000 followers or 3% of the population.

There were 552,000 Hindus, 329,000 Sikhs, 260,000 Jews and 144,000 Buddhists, while 7.7 million said they had no religion.

The number of Star Wars fans who gave their religion as "Jedi" - because of an internet campaign running at the time of the census - was 390,000, or 0.7% of the population."
