Leeds Religion



Introduction

16.8% of Leeds residents in the 2001 census declared themselves as having "no religion", which is broadly in line with the figure for the whole of the UK (also 8.1% "Religion not stated").

Christianity

The majority of people in Leeds identify themselves as Christian. Fairly unusually for a city of its size, Leeds does not have a Church of England Cathedral. Leeds is part of the Anglican Diocese of Ripon and Leeds with the Cathedral for this Diocese being in Ripon. However, Leeds does have a Roman Catholic Cathedral, being the Episcopal seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Leeds. The city also has several fairly large contemporary charismatic churches, such as two churches from the new frontiers network. These often attract a lot of younger people including students.

Islam

The proportion of Muslims in Leeds is average for the country. Mosques can be found throughout the city, serving Muslim communities in Harehills, Hyde Park and parts of Beeston.

Sikhism

The Sikh community is represented by Gurdwaras (Temples) spread across the city. There is also a colorful religious annual procession, called the Nagar Kirtan, into Millennium Square in the city centre around 13th/14th April to celebrate Baisakhi - the Sikh New Year and the birth of the religion. It is estimated around 3,000 Sikhs in Leeds take part in this annual event.

Judaism

Leeds has the 3rd largest Jewish community in the UK, after London and Manchester. There is a particular concentration around the areas of Alwoodley and Moortown.

Hinduism

The small Hindu community in Leeds has a Hindu temple at Hyde Park. Herein major Hindu religious festivals such as Ganesh Chaturthi, Durga Puja, Dusshera and Diwali are celebrated with gaiety. The temple has all the major Hindu deities and is also dedicated to the Lord Mahavir of the Jains.

Buddhism

Various Buddhist traditions are represented in Leeds. including: FWBO, Soka Gakkai, Theravada, Tibetan and Zen. The Buddhist community (sangha) comes together to celebrate the major festival of Wesak in May.
