Census data
White British is now the "minority" in london with only 48% of people identifying themselves as such, Islam is the fasted growing religeon and "Jedi" is the most popular alternative religeon.

Does any of this worry you? Do you see little relevance in collecting this sort of data? Will Islam ever become as interwoven into our society as say Catholocism or Judaism?
