    Of those brought up as Anglicans (24% of the total), around half (47%)

    still regard themselves as such, with an almost equal number saying


    Two non-religious parents successfully transmit their lack of
    religion. Two religious parents have roughly a 50/50 chance of
    passing on the faith. The National Centre for Social Research
    British Social Attitudes 36 | Religion 22 that they have no religion.
    Other specific Protestant denominations fare even worse: only 38% of those brought
    up as Presbyterians and
    27% of those brought up as Methodists have kept these specific religious
    affiliations.
    Catholics manage to retain a slim majority, as do generic Christians identifying
    with no
    named denomination (for both 55% have kept the religious affiliation they were
    brought up in).
    However, for those of non-Christian faiths, particularly Islam, religious
    identity appears to be stickier; only one in ten who were brought up
    in one of these religions no longer belongs (93% of those brought up
    as a Muslim, still identify as Muslim).
