Britain has been found to be one of the least religious countries in the world, according to a new global survey.

Only 30% of British people interviewed described themselves as religious, compared to 53% who said they were "not religious".

Thirteen per cent said they were a "convinced atheist" and the rest were "don't knows".

Only three countries in Europe were lower than Britain, with Sweden the lowest at 19%.

The survey was conducted by WIN/Gallup international who talked to almost 64,000 people from 65 countries across the globe.

Worldwide, six out of 10 people say they are religious.

China is the least religious country with twice the amount of convinced atheists than any other nation (61%) followed by Hong Kong (34%) and Japan (31%).

Thailand is the most religious country globally (94%), followed by Armenia (93%) and Bangladesh (93%).

People aged under 34 tend to be more religious (66%) as opposed to 60% for the other age groups.

Those without a formal education are the most religious (80%).

Jean-Marc Leger, President of WIN/Gallup International Association, said: "Religion continues to dominate our everyday lives and we see that the total number of people who consider themselves to be religious is actually relatively high.

"Furthermore, with the trend of an increasingly religious youth globally, we can assume that the number of people who consider themselves religious will only continue to increase."
