organization: This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for ethnic group by religion in UK in Scotland. ## Ethnic group Ethnic group classifies people according to their own perceived ethnic group and cultural background. Whilst the main ethnic group categories have not changed from the question asked in Census 2011, some of the detailed response options and write-in prompts for Scotland's Census 2022 were changed based on stakeholder engagement and subsequent question testing. Details of classification can be found [here](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/metadata/ethnic-group/) _The quality assurance report can be found [here](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/2022-results/scotlands-census-2022-quality-assurance-reports/quality-assurance-report-unrounded-population-estimates-and-ethnic-group-national-identity-language-and-religion-topic-data/)_ ## Religion This is a person’s current religious denomination or body that they belong to, or if the person does not have a religion, ‘No Religion’. No determination is made about whether a person was a practising member of a religion. Religion is a voluntary question and 6.2% of the population did not provide a response. Please be aware that when we state percentages these are out of the whole population, not just those that provided a response. Our approach to imputation is also different for voluntary questions. Not stating a religion is considered to be a valid response, so we do not impute a religion for those who responded to the census but did not answer the religion question. However, we do impute religion for those who did not respond at all to the census. 'Not stated’ is one of the values that can be imputed for religion. More information on our edit and imputation method is available on the [Scotland’s Census website](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/about/2022-census/statistical-methodology/edit-and-imputation/). Classification and comparison with 2011 census can be found [here](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/metada…
