The British general election or BESIS website (http://www.besis.org), to which Siobhan refers in her opening paragraph, is well worth a look, since it contains data going back to 1964. Registration is simple.
National sample surveys have been run in connection with general elections on a dozen occasions since then, although the 2010 data are not yet available on BESIS.
Religious affiliation data for the respondent have been collected in every survey and can be cross-analysed with a dozen other variables.
The proportion professing no religion has jumped from 4% in 1964 to 42% in 2005. Much of this increase is accounted for by the reduction in the number of professing Anglicans (from 66% to 28% respectively).
Attendance at religious services data were only collected for 1964-97 (ie nine of the surveys).
