1 in 4 Londoners attend a religious service at least once a month vs 1 in 10 in rest of Britain

• Religious Londoners are twice as likely as religious people in other parts of the country to attend a service twice a month or more (31% vs 15%)

• 56% London Christians pray regularly compared to 32% of Christians in the rest of Britain

I would say that most religious Londoners will be Muslims, Sikhs and Hindus, although nice to see Christians mentioned by name at the end.

What is the source for this? And how does it relate to this crime?

Because devout Christians are known for their violence?

Hitler was a devout Christian. The earliest formation of the Nazi party and throughout the period of conquest and growth, Hitler expressed his Christian support to the German citizenry and soldiers. In the 1920s.

Some people claim Hitler was a Christian, others claim he was an atheist, others that he was a neo-pagan... Whatever the truth WW2 was not fought over religion. And I'm still bemused as to What any of that has to do with a child being shot in Hackney.

…apparently the child was jumping on chairs when the bullet struck her…

What we know about the Hackney motorbike drive-by shooting
The young girl was among four people taken to hospital following the shooting on Kingsland High Street on Wednesday night.…

A nine-year-old girl who was shot by a motorbike rider outside a restaurant in Hackney, east London, on Wednesday night is still in a critical condition, police have said.

The child was having dinner with family in a restaurant on Kingsland Road in Dalston when shots were fired from a motorbike outside at around 9.20pm in what police said was a "pre-planned" attack. Three men, aged 37, 42 and 44, were also hurt.

The owner of the restaurant told the Guardian the "very lively and really cute" girl was inside the building and "jumping on chairs" when she was hit by a bullet.

Police said the bike, which has since been recovered, was a Ducati Monster with a white body, red chassis and red wheels, with the registration DP21 0XY - they have urged anyone with any information to get in touch.

…she obviously somehow was near the men who were targeted…maybe ran or jumped/bounced in front of them as the shots were fired…I can’t see any medical/hospital updates, though…

In the past .

Spoiler:

It was a "fire and forget" comment, I didn't give it much thought and obviously it's not my brightest output of the day .

All the information was from a Christian think tank.

But there is no breakdown of religions. How does this relate to this crime?
