Religion in decline as census figures reveal there are 4million fewer Christians and one in four is now an atheist

• Proportion of Christians in England and Wales down to 59.3 per cent
  
• Quarter of people say they do not follow any religion following rise of aggressive atheism>
• Number of Muslims up to 2.7million, 4.8 per cent of the population
  Christianity has declined sharply over the past decade, according to the census returns. Numbers who choose to call themselves Christians fell by more than four million

  The diminishing number of Christians is mirrored by a rapid growth in those who profess no religious affiliation. A quarter of the population, 14.1million, now say they have no religion, nearly double the 7.7million who said the same thing in the 2001 census.

  The growth religion in England and Wales is Islam, the census returns showed. Over a decade, numbers of Muslims have gone up from around 1.5million to 2.7million, and almost one in 20 of the population is now a Muslim.

  The lowest level of Christian belief is in London, where fewer than half the population, 48 per cent, now say they are Christian....‘Of course these figures still exaggerate the number of Christians overall – the number of believing, practising Christians is much lower than this and the number of those leading their lives with no reference to religion much higher.’

The muslims are quite happily filling the void. They`ll be at 25% in 20 years.

The left-wing is to blame. This includes many bed-wetting members of the so-called “Conservative” party. The bottom line: Enoch Powell was right.

The Mohammedans are reproducing, the Christians are not. Michael Savage has said he believes that the rise of Islam is God’s response to the rise of godless secularism in the “post-Christian” West.

They are to blame for their relentless campaign, but they have not forced anyone give up their religious convictions — yet.

Which of the 10 Commandments are taken seriously, by our society, today?

...oh...I’m sorry....you’re not sure what they are?

[Buddy Sorrell]

They will try to take away our religious liberties incrementally. They have already begun to do so with Obamacare.

and Michael Savage is correct -- see the other link I posted. The number of married people in the UK is now less than 50%. The Brits are cohabiting, not having kids, going gay etc. and leaving Christianity (well the Church Of England is hardly Christian any more) and they have no strong culture any more -- NOTE: I lived in the south of England for years in the early 2000s and I can talk of my own experience that the only religious and folks who had culture that I saw or met or knew were either non-British or were half-British. The pure English I met went to Church only for weddings and had no real knowledge or culture.

note that this was the south of England -- and by no means do I claim that all Brits are like this.
