Interesting. I just

First, Shintoism is not a custodial religion. It is more of a philosophical system with symbolic rituals.
Shintoism does not acknowledge the existence of a custodial deity. It is more of a codification of cultural practices from Japanese antiquity.
So, Japanese are bona fide atheists.

As for teen pregnancy in the Uk, a simple statistical analysis shows that most cases of teen pregnancy are among black British teens, notably of Carribean descent. The mains reasons being economic deprivation , as well as religious and cultural factors.
The highest levels of births outside marriage in the Uk, more than 60 per cent, were among Black British mothers.

So, here again, religion and economic status confirm the op's theme.

What were Christian principles?

The funny thing is that most of the European countries have evolved beyond the so-called Christian principles, and have since moved on.. and that is why they are examplary today.

I'll go with the people out here. You made some interesting points. - By latest movie hd apk android app. jailbreak firestick The discussion is getting enthralling just like a movie or tv show. Hope everything is going to be good.

What you share here?

Its understandable because these guys are so much educated that they know that each is god to himself as so need to harm one another

bawomolo:


so where bejamin franklin, monroe, thomas jefferson etc devout christians??

I don't think the people you listed founded America. They weren't exactly the first Europeans to settle there. But that aside. Most atheist nations (those with Christianity in their foundation at least), tend to abandon religion once it's finished serving it's purpose of educating the masses. That's why the only way to ensure religion prevails is by making sure people remain ignorant by placing a cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+3%3A24&version=NIV]proper education that prolongs life[/url]! If we don't educate them they will believe because they have not developed the more superior ability of knowing and can therefore be more easily exploited. You'd find those nations mentioned have secular education systems, as in education that religion has been cleaned out of. Not only have they gouged on fruits of knowledge, but they have torn away the cherubim with its flaming sword flashing back and eaten of the fruit of the tree of life. You can check this from their average life expectancies which is likely longer the less religious the nation is.

I can only thank God that we have Nairaland University. Oxford and Cambridge Universities too started like the talk shop here is so there is much hope for us.

Shintoism is like typical ancient African religions - Pure Paganism!

I'm sure I've told you to do your own research Eyes1. Closed eyed people don't exactly get as much of my time as you want.

Europeans are 70% to 80% Christians. The only pure atheist nation i can think of is North Korea. Its advanced Southern neighbor (South Korea) is religious.

You tried. I commend your effort. It really would depend on the survey you look at to be honest. In UK you'd find most are not Christians. Mention God and you'd be looked at funny by the majority. Churches are being sold off because they can't get the tithes to run them and the last thing many do is read their Bible. Even Church schools are not allowed to preach to their students and must stick to the curriculum, which, as far as religion goes means teaching about all known religions. You'd find 26 Bishops in the House of Lords however, and our monarch is the Defender of the Faith, though the future king plans to be the Defender of Faiths.

No nation is an atheist nation. The government may claim secularism, as in, keeping religion out of governance and the public sphere, but even in NK you'd find people worship one thing or the other. There is a difference between a secular nation and an atheist nation. Let me know what you make of the following.

Most Britons support key secularist principles, says Pew research

Religion in North Korea

Excerpt:
There are no known official statistics of religions in North Korea. Officially, North Korea is an atheist state. Based on estimates from the late 1990s and the 2000s, North Korea is mostly irreligious, with the main religions being Korean shamanism and Chondoism. There are small communities of Buddhists and Christians.

What exactly do you believe in my friend?

Lol, OpenYourEyes1! I don't do believing, to be exact. I rather seek to know instead. I am currently a theist though, very in love with my Bible.

I already did. North Korea oppresses religion so many would not own up to having one if asked, apart from Cheondoism, which literally means "Religion of the Heavenly Way", a 20th-century Korean religious ideology, based on the 19th-century Donghak religious movement founded by Ch'oe Che-u and codified under Son Pyŏng-Hi. Seems they do have a religion after all.

UK has a "relatively large number of individuals with nominal or no religious affiliations, which has led commentators to variously describe the United Kingdom as a multi-faith and secularised society."

Note that last phrase, "multi-faith and secularised society". The nominals count as religious but it might mean they never worship or step in a church except for weddings and funerals. I can tell you though that everytime I go out and see the lining on the roads it seems like a Bible to me. People, relatively, obey the law and love their neighbours a lot like Christianity is woven into their dna. UK is a secular nation and definitely not an atheist nation.

They are not being contrasted with a common American resident with much lower crime rates.

Religion can be used for good and bad - the important thing for me is respecting each other and our differences.
