English religious history is marked by the influence of various faiths, primarily Christianity. The arrival of Christianity in England began in the 1st century, with significant growth during the Roman occupation. The establishment of the Church of England in the 16th century, led by King Henry VIII, marked a pivotal moment, as it separated from the Roman Catholic Church. The Reformation further shaped religious practices, leading to the rise of various denominations, including Puritanism and Anglicanism. Over the centuries, England has seen religious conflicts, such as the English Civil War, and movements for religious tolerance, culminating in a diverse religious landscape that includes Judaism, Islam, and other faiths today.
