Muslims are becoming the UK’s biggest practising religious group. Figures show that Islam will have the most active following if current trends continue.
The number of Roman Catholic worshippers at Sunday mass will fall to 679,000 by 2020, while 683,000 Muslims will be praying in mosques on Fridays. The statistics, from Christian Research, also suggested that over the same period, the total number of practising Muslims would overtake Church of England members going to Sunday services.
The projections, based on Government and academic sources, were revealed after teaching leaders said that State Schools should allow children to study the Holy Qur’an and other religious texts as part of the National Curriculum.
