Also, Londoners practise their faith more regularly than those outside the capital, with 1 in 4 said to be attending a religious service once a month. Theos, the UK’s leading religion and society think tank, recently published a report which showed that 62% of people living in London are religious, compared with the rest of Britain, where 53% of people are religious. Well, London is always full of surprises, and a recent study has proven just that, yet again. But to describe it as “religious” or “spiritual” – given its dynamic and fast-paced lifestyle – would indeed be a long shot, by any stretch of the imagination, right? Whether it be its iconic landmarks, vibrant culture or rich history, the list is endless when it comes to describing the supremely unique city of London. The Associate Editor for the Review of Religions, Shahzad Ahmed had a discussion with Paul Bickley regarding the various aspects of this report. He has published research on a variety of subjects, from religion and the constitution to faith-based social action. Pauls background is in Parliament and public affairs, and he holds an MLitt from the University of St Andrews’ School of Divinity. Paul Bickley, lead author of the report ‘Religious London’ is a Research Fellow at Theos, UK’s leading religious and social think tank.
