Religion in Wales
Christianity is the largest religion in Wales. Until 1920 the established church was Anglican, although Wales has a strong tradition of nonconformism and Methodism.
Most adherents to organised religion in Wales follow the Church in Wales or other Christian denominations such as the Presbyterian Church of Wales, Catholicism, Baptist and Methodist churches, and Eastern Orthodoxy. Other religions Welsh people may be affiliated with include Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Islam, Sikhism and Druidism, with most non-Christian Welsh people found in Cardiff.
==Statistics==
The Roman Catholic Church (''Eglwys Gatholig Rufeinig'') and the Church in Wales (''Eglwys yng Nghymru'') are the two largest churches in Wales, both of which have less than 5% of the population as members. The next largest religious society is the Presbyterian Church of Wales (''Eglwys Bresbyteraidd Cymru'') with 34,819 (2004) members (slightly more than 1% of the population), followed by the Union of Welsh Independents (''Undeb yr Annibynwyr Cymraeg'') and the Baptist Union of Wales (''Undeb Bedyddwyr Cymru'') which each have about 1% of the population as members.
The 2001 census showed that slightly less than 10% of the Welsh population are regular church- or chapel-goers (a slightly smaller proportion than in England or Scotland), although about 72% of the population saw themselves as Christian in some way. In the 2011 census this figure had fallen to 57.6%.
