Cuz it pretty much is. Basing it on people who actively practise their religion, Islam is the largest.

Thoughts??

Sources? How do you know that so many of the christians here don't actively practice?

and victorious in war shall be made glorious in peace.

We're officially a protestant country, aren't we? or am I totally wrong?

From a distance you look like my friend,

even though we are at war.

What are you talking about? Islam makes up like 3% of the religious population in the UK. Christianity is by far the biggest, like 70%+.

i think it's more the fact that christians are polite enough not to ram their religion down your throat in the media most of the time.

I said practise.

The 70%+ statistic is from people's cencus forms. It says "Protestant/Anglican" on mine but I'm agnostic, and haven't been to church since I was about ten. It's like that for millions because despite loads of people apathetically putting protestant or whatever on the forms, church numbers are dwindling, whereas the vast majority of people putting themselves down as Muslims actually do practise their religion; pray, wear hijab, go the mosque...
Cencus forms are an inaccurate representation. The many mosques I see are way busier on Fridays than the few old people you see going to or from church on Sundays.

I think you may be describing a perception of activity rather than actual activity. I imagine numerically, even the dwindling number of practicing Christians still outnumber the Muslims.

This isn't just me applying my perception to the entire country; an independent survey put it that in 2010 the numbers of Mosque attendances will overtake numbers of church attendances, given the current regressive trend of Christians attending church p.a compared to the growing number attending mosques p.a.
