Great! Though it definitely doesn't feel that way where I am. Almost everyone in my school is either muslim or christian, maybe only 5-10% would call themselves atheist/agnostic. I'm in Brent though, the most multi-cultural area in Europe, so this is an anomaly.

Historically and culturally (though not anymore), Britain could be called Christian, but thankfully christians are becoming a minority here according to the polls. (No offence)

Oh wow, apparently in Brent only 30.9% are White British, in comparison to where I live, which has a 91.7% rate xD

Yep, it came as a surprise to most of my class that britain is like 90% white. Out of 25 students about 5 of us are white, ana about 3 out of those 5 are white british, I'm white european. 

There's only around 15 non-white students in my year of 180 people - it's a shame really


Sounds like Winchester, where I lived before I left for university in London.  I'm a quarter Indian and I was the only 'not entirely British' person at my primary school, which had about 200 students.  At secondary school, which had about 1100 students, outside of a few Nepalese people, 3 Guyanians and a girl from Singapore, it was completely white.  Once I left for my 6th form college, which attracted lots of students from the more multicultural Southampton, the students were more varied.  Now I'm at university in London (units split between LSE and Queen Mary) and living on the QM campus in Mile End, where the surronding area is at least 60% Bangladeshi, it's quite different culturally (and in many ways better) that central Hampshire.
