The Treaty of Union (1707) that led to the formation of the United Kingdom ensured that there would be a Protestant succession as well as a link betweenchurch and state that still remains. Christianity is the major religion(72% of population), followed by Islam (3%), Hinduism (1%), Sikhism (0,6%) and then Judaism (0,5%) in terms of number of adherents*. Though each country that makes up the UK has a long tradition of Christianity** that pre-dates the UK itself, in practice all have relatively low levels of religious observance and today are secular societies.
