There was an implied variable regarding religiosity in the Longhill council estate we did,
that being a council estate it was a lot lower than other areas.
Another aspect is the development of denominations. For example, English
Presbyterianism grew well in Lancashire and the North West, and, with additions of New
Dissent that went Unitarian, accounts for the still greater density of Unitarianism there
than anywhere else. This is history combined with industrialisation.
Then in areas of high risk there is superstition, or was, and these are around the coast
and mining areas, and there tends to be little breakaways of denominations and added
features to religiosity.
Just some thoughts, hardly systematic.
