We said
Thank you for your request.
The UK censuses are run separately by each National Statistics Office (Northern Ireland Statistics & Research Agency (NISRA), National Records of Scotland (NRS), and the Office for National Statistics (ONS) for both England and Wales). You will need to contact NISRA and NRS directly for their census statistics on religion.
In 2021 NISRA and ONS carried out the census in their respective parts of the UK, but Scotland's census was moved to 2022.
2021 Census data for England and Wales for religion is available publicly in the detailed topic summary dataset TS031. Please see the following link to download the data: TS031 -- Religion (detailed)
