2022 Census finds that most Scots have no religion

Not exactly a surprise, but it looks bleak for the Church of Scotland who have lost a million attenders since the start of this century.

Followers rather than attendees. I doubt the figures of people who attend the CoS is anything close to a million.

The CofE don't get close to a million attendees - they get less than 700k. I think the CofS's figures are closer to 60k.
