Although it doesn't say how many are regular church goers.
Mind you, once Jesus stopped attending the Jewish Synagogue, he himself didn't attend church much either.

The figures you quote are correct 71.6% do consider themselves Christian but only 10% attend Church weekly.
It is surely this minority who would want everything closed on the Sabbath?
Infact I am not sure about that, I maybe making an assumption, as I know quiet a few practising Catholics who go to Mass on Saturdays so they can shop on Sundays?
