Cevap

There is no established church in either Wales or Northern Ireland.
In the United Kingdom, religious establishment is not universal. While England has the Church of England as its established state church, there is no established church in Wales or Northern Ireland. This separation of church and state in these two nations is a fundamental aspect of the UK's modern religious demographics.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the geographical focus of the question.
The question specifically asks about the religious status in Wales and Northern Ireland.
Establishing the region is critical because the UK has different religious settlements for each of its four nations.
2
Recall the status of the Church of England.
The Church of England is the established church, but only in England.
Knowing that establishment is not a UK-wide concept helps eliminate distractors claiming universal establishment.
3
Determine the specific status for Wales and Northern Ireland.
Both nations have no established church (religion and state are separated).
This is a key constitutional fact in the 'A Modern, Thriving Society' section of the Life in the UK curriculum.
