Thank you for the map. As well as Muslims and Hindus, it also suggests a stronger negative correlation between irreligion and traditionally Catholic areas like Lancashire and Cheshire than between irreligion and Christianity as a whole. Perhaps I'm extrapolating from stylised facts from the NI census. It's remarkable that the England and Wales census publishes no areal figures for the Catholic/Anglican/Reformed faiths, but finds room for Jedi Knights!

You don't need a uniform interpretation to chart regional differences, as long as there is no reason to suspect regional biases in interpretation. The judgement of what tends to yield "uniform" interpretations is always subjective, and the most comprehensive questions tend to be the longest and most off-putting ones.

I'm sure those white people are also more likely to list their profession as blue-collar and to live in a city - but at what point do we accept that this is the data speaking, rather than explaining it away to comply with our priors?
