Christianity no longer a majority religion in UK

[Tommy Tainant]

Census: Christians a minority in England; non-religious grow

The latest U.K. census has found that less than half of people in England and Wales consider themselves Christian.

Its not been overtaken by other religions. No religion is the biggest beneficiary.

Coming from a chapel culture I find that a bit sad. Im not a regular myself anymore but when I do go I note that the congregation is old and grey.

I think I can save the churches some money and tell them where they are losing young people.

1. Be proper chapels. Fuck off the tambourines and guitars and sing proper hymns that we all know the words.
2. Use your position to promote social justice.The kids are fighting to save the planet. Get down with them.
3. Represent all mankind and not reactionary bigots who put the most in the collection plate.

Churches are generally conservative and conservatism is not christian. Jesus is a socialist.

Jesus was not a socialist and he disapproved in the strongest terms of anyone harming children, and he didn't mean a parent giving a child a spanking.

And he said to his disciples, “Temptations to sin are sure to come, but woe to the one through whom they come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin. Luke 17:1-2 (ESV)

Don't say we didn't warn ya...

This means the UK is a Muslim nation now... wow!... that was fast...

 

[MarathonMike]

Will the UK convert churches to Mosques or build shiny new ones for their new Muslim brethren?

 

[Baron Von Murderpaws]

The Muslims are taking over.

They've already taken over the governments of several small European countries. It was in the online news a few years ago.

There's already been a "fight" in the House of Commons in Britain, as there are a couple of Muslims trying to take over Parlament apparently.

The sstats do not support that. Get your helper to explain it to you.

He fed the poor and healed the sick.Hes a comrade.

Why do the rubes think Islam is going to take over the UK? Islam is also a made up fantasy. People who stop believing in one made up fantasy aren't going to automatically turn to another one.

Nope. You are projecting with no basis in fact. You are as thick as shit.

I attend church every week and our congregation consists of both young and old. I don't know how you consider church's to be conservative. We pray and give worship to God.

If its not Christian anymore than what is it?... The Muslim population is huge....

Christians believe in loving your neighbor as yourself while Muslims have no tolerance for non believers.

Full of shit.

Try doing some research instead of sniffing Bidens asshole.

I can just see you reading this article for the first time Taint.

Then it is not in fact a move away from christianity, in fact if your claim is accurate it may well be the departed are following in the footsteps of Christianity

Jesus is a socialist.

3. Represent all mankind and not reactionary bigots who put the most in the collection plate.

By “reactionary bigots”, or course, you mean people who hold to the moral standards that God has given us; and who eschew the immoral sexual misconduct that you and your kind embrace. You want churches to tell people that it is perfectly find and proper to engage in such depraved behavior. You want churches to tell people what they want to hear, rather than what they need to hear.

2 Timothy 4:1-4

1. I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2. Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
3. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4. And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Any church that follows your advice is a church that has turned away from the God that it professes to represent.

You Are one who will not endure sound doctrine, and seek a church that validates your lusts.
