Half of Britain turns ‘non-religious’

Britain is becoming a non-religious nation, with nearly half of us identifying as ‘non-believers’ – and it’s driven by a large number of Christians turning non-religious. For every one person brought up in a non-religious household who starts going to church, 26 people raised as Christians turn into non-believers, a new report found. Stephen Bullivant of St Mary’s University, Twickenham, says, ‘In 1983, 67% of Britons identified as some kind of Christian. In 2015, it was 43%. Over the same period, members of Non-Christian religions have more than quadrupled. ‘Those who identify as ‘No religion’ (i.e., Nones, the nonreligious) are 48.6% of the British adult population. This is roughly 24.3 million people.’

London is now the most religious area of the country – largely due to large Muslim and other immigrant communities. Bullivant writes, ‘ Inner London has, by far, the fewest Nones [non-religious people] in Britain at 31% (compared to 58% in the South East, and 56% in Scotland). ‘Inner London also has, by far, the highest proportion of those from Non-Christian religions (28%).

Database System Concepts - SQL

  SQL (Structured Query Language) is THE standard DML for relational database products. The query language is based on relational algebra, but borrows from tuple relational calculus. Topics: •  the data-definition language (DDL) - creating, deleting and modifying relation   schemas •  the data-manipulation language (DML) - the query   language •  modification of relations (insert, delete,   update) •  integrity constraints (domain constraints and foreign   keys) •  creation and use of   views •  transaction   control •  application   programming Five major standards have been defined for SQL: •  SQL-86 •  SQL-89 •  SQL-92 •  SQL:1999 •  SQL:2003 Each standard is essentially a superset of the previous ones. Most major commercial systems support essentially the SQL-92 standard along with some part of the SQL:1999 and SQL:2003 standards. In the following examples, we continue to use the flys...
