The Parish of Radyr is in the Diocese of Llandaff, part of the Church in Wales. The historic parish church, Saint John the Baptist, adjacent to Radyr Chain, is located in the Danescourt estate (in Llandaff). It is over 750 years old and was altered in the 19th century.
Christ Church, although a larger building than St John's, is the daughter church in Radyr. Designed by the Llandaff diocesan architect George Halliday, the nave was ready for use at Easter 1904 and the chancel and tower were completed in November 1910. It has a peal of eight bells donated by Lieutenant Colonel Fisher, which are all inscribed with the names of members of his family.
Radyr Methodist Church on Windsor Road replaced an earlier Methodist Church in Heol Isaf. Radyr is also served by Radyr Baptist Church, whose congregations are held in the Old Church Rooms in Park Road.

Famous quotes containing the word religious:
“It is not woman who claims the highest in man. It is a man’s own religious soul that drives him on beyond women, to his supreme activity. For his highest, man is responsible to God alone.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
