Thank you for your request.
The total number of live births occurring in England and London in 2023 can be found in Table 1 of our Births in England and Wales dataset. The total number of live births occurring in England and London in 2013 can be found in Table 3 of the same release.
Unfortunately, we do not hold all of the information you require. Our Births in England and Wales, linked births dataset provides births by ethnicity. This is achieved by linking birth registrations to birth notifications where the ethnicity of the baby is provided by the mother. This data source does not provide any information on the religion of the parents.
