UK Bible sales hit £6.3M as young adults rediscover Christian faith
Bible sales in the UK have surged to unprecedented levels, hitting £6.3 million in 2025—a 134% increase since 2019. This rise marks the highest figure since records began and reflects a broader trend of growing interest in Christianity across the country. The shift is particularly noticeable among younger adults, where church attendance and Christian identity have climbed sharply in recent years.
The renewed interest in Christianity follows years of decline, with several key factors driving the change. The pandemic, ongoing conflicts, economic instability, and a worsening mental health crisis have led many to seek spiritual guidance. As a result, the proportion of adults identifying as Christian and attending church at least monthly rose from 8% in 2018 to 12% in 2022, according to the British Social Attitudes Survey (BSA).
Among 18 to 24-year-olds, the shift has been even more dramatic. The percentage identifying as Christian and attending church jumped from 4% to 16% in the same period. This growth is not happening by default but through active choice, often characterised by humility, service, and openness. Social media and Christian influencers have also played a role, helping spread religious ideas and personal faith journeys among younger generations. Despite this revival, Britain’s religious landscape remains diverse. While Christian identity has stabilised at around 40% of adults, overall church attendance sits at roughly 5%—a partial recovery from pandemic lows. Meanwhile, one in three regular worshippers now attends a non-Christian place of worship, highlighting the country’s multicultural faith traditions. Yet, Britain’s laws, language, and cultural values still bear the deep imprint of its Christian heritage.
The surge in Bible sales and church attendance points to a notable shift in the UK’s religious habits. With younger adults embracing Christianity in greater numbers and broader cultural influences at play, the trend suggests a lasting change rather than a short-term reaction. While the country’s faith landscape continues to diversify, its Christian roots remain a defining feature of national identity.
