What percentage of the UK population identifies as Jewish or Buddhist?

Okay, let's talk about the religious makeup of the UK, specifically focusing on Jewish and Buddhist populations. While the UK is a diverse country with a variety of faiths, Christianity remains the largest religious group. Now, when we look at minority religions, it's easy to overestimate their size. Jewish and Buddhist communities, while vibrant and important parts of British society, represent a relatively small proportion of the overall population. Think about it this way: the UK has over 67 million people. For Jewish and Buddhist populations to reach even 1%, you'd need hundreds of thousands of adherents. The actual figures are significantly lower. While there are established Jewish communities dating back centuries, and Buddhism has grown in popularity in recent decades, their combined numbers simply don't reach that threshold. So, when you see options like 1%, 2%, or even 3%, those are far too high. The combined percentage of people identifying as Jewish or Buddhist in the UK is less than 0.5%.
