A survey conducted by the Evangelical Alliance Northern Ireland (EANI) found that one in five people in the province say they are evangelical Christians; and one in every two people consider themselves a practising Christian. The figures are in stark contrast with the 2021 census of England and Wales, which revealed less than half of the population would describe themselves as Christian.
