You mean well no doubt but what on earth does it mean to be Christian?
We are told that Jesus is son of God. That's what a bunch fo Euros

Subject: [Goanet] England And Wales No Longer Christian
The results of the 2021 census were released by the Office for National
Statistics (ONS), revealing a historically sharp decline in the number
of people identifying as Christian in England and Wales (other regions
of the United Kingdom, such as Northern Ireland and Scotland report
their census data separately). According to the census, the number of
people identifying as Christian in England and Wales fell from 33.3
million (59.3%) in 2011 to 27.5 million (46.2%) in 2021, a shocking 17%
decrease. On the other hand, those who identify as Muslim rose from 4.9%
in 2011 to 6.5% in 2021, making it the fastest-growing religion in
England and Wales. Meanwhile, the number of non-religious people
increased from 25.2% to 37.2%.
Reacting to the latest data from the 2021 census, Archbishop of York
Stephen Cottrell said that both regions "left behind the era when many
people almost automatically identified as Christian." Stephen Evans,
Head of the National Secular Society said, "It's official - we are no
longer a Christian country.”
