Notes
In Northern Ireland the question relates to current religion and is in several parts. People are asked if they regard themselves as belonging to any particular religion. Those people who regard themselves as belonging to a religion are asked to provide an answer as to which religion, religious denomination or body they belong to. Those people who do not regard themselves as belonging to any particular religion are classified as belonging to 'No religion'. A supplementary question was included asking those people who do not regard themselves as belonging to any particular religion to answer a question on which religion, religious denomination or body they were brought up in. This information is only used in the derivation of Community Background, and is not included in the Religion variable. Missing answers for the Religion variable are not imputed so the classifications include a 'not stated' category. In the SARs, 'no religion' and 'religion not stated' has been combined.
