2. It's because these statistics cover England and Wales, but not Scotland (or NI)

It's not 'legal', it's where this census release covers (other articles have, for instance, pointed out the local authorities with the highest "no religion" numbers are in south Wales). AP might be technically incorrect to say this is about "Britain", but it does then mention Scotland and NI's figures aren't in it, and the changes in religion couldn't actually be reversed by Scottish figures, because they're that large.
