Reading now: 883
The majority of LGBTQ+ people in England and Wales do not describe themselves as religious, according to new figures from the Office of National Statistics (ONS).
The data, which was published on 4 April, is drawn from the 2021 census which asked questions about sexual orientation and gender identity for the first time.
A total of 1.5 million respondents (3.2% of the population aged 16 years or older) said they identified as LGB+, with urban areas seeing the highest proportions of LGBTQ+ people.
Around 748,000 (1.5%) of those who answered said they are either gay or lesbian, only 0.2% more than the 624,000 (1.3%) who described themselves as bisexual.
