Priests fear churches will soon be extinct as Britain 'no longer a Christian country'
Nearly 75 percent of priests claim the UK can no longer be considered a Christian country. Wed, Aug 30, 2023 | UPDATED: 10:45, Wed, Aug 30, 2023 www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1807416/britain-no-longer-christian-country-surveySeems to be the populations’ choice — although a majority may live fit and proper lives, and adhere to the principles espoused by many religions — it seems the UK’s major population doesn’t buy into Christianity’s beliefs. It’s long seemed to me ridiculous that the UK legislature is the only country (outside Iran) to reserve places in its legislature for clerics…

Aren’t there bigger problems to worry about ? |

Not if you're a priest..
(Personally, I see it as a good news story. Now we just need to hope other religions will join the decline.)

And half of those frigging things were built with no planning permissin. |

Two systems can have technical similarities and not have remotely the same outcomes.. |

I often point out the gigantic tiers of unaccountable political power resident in our 'public sector' and when i do so, I am told there are more important issues. |

Which religion will rule the world in 2070? The world's population will grow by 37 per cent over the same period. If those rates of growth continue past 2050, Muslims will outnumber Christians by 2070, the report found.
The writing is on the Wall.
The illegal boat people are making that ^^ predication right.

There was a time when there were large numbers of Christians in the middle east...and then the Christians became outnumbered at some point. I'm not sure what happened next |

The sooner people understand that Islam the religion, is a self indoctrinating religious cult, the better. |

Two systems can have technical similarities and not have remotely the same outcomes.. Unlike you I make no comparison. I just observe that for years I’ve though reserving seats in the UK’s legislature for clerics a strange anomaly. I’d have no case if they were elected — or even appointed because of some perceived personal achievement or quality. It’s their shoe-in to their seats as a right when they have no role that I find quaint and risible… |

Don’t join in if you’ve nothing to add… Which reflects the same situation where lefties ask the same question . Pointing out mild hypocrisy is quite apt . I’m not here to make you feel comfortable. |

If I'm reading this wrong please correct me?
The UK is/was prodementaly a Christian Country, but now we've been infultrated by other Religions namely 'Islam'.
We the 'UK' must now surrender arms and declare ourselves the UK a 'Islamic State'...
This is a taste of things to come ^^
