Christianity losing
ground in Britain

Poll results and market signals show Christianity is becoming increasingly irrelevant in the British society despite PM David Cameron's last week claim that Britain is a Christian country.
According to the official Citizenship Survey, the number of people who identify themselves as Christians has plunged from 77 percent in 2005 to 70 percent last year.
This comes as over the same period, the percentage of people who said they have no religion has increased by an almost similar proportion from 15 percent in 2005 to 21 percent in 2010.
“While Christianity remained the most prevalent faith in England and Wales, between 2005 and 2010 there was a steady decrease in the proportion of people who identified themselves as Christian,” the survey said.
The study also found even the people who do identify themselves as Christians do not practice it as a religion.
“Christian people were much less likely than all the other main religions to say that they practiced their religion,” it said.
This is while, market sales ahead of Christmas apparently support the Citizenship Survey findings.
A snapshot poll by the Daily Mail has shown that only 0.5 percent of 6,576 Christmas cards on sale feature messages or pictures relevant to the religious background the festivities while some are designed to openly challenge the bible.
The survey said that across all Asda branches, only four out of 2,638 Christmas
cards (0.15 percent) on offer carried religious pictures or symbols.
Cameron said on the 400th anniversary of King James Bible last week “we are a Christian country and we should not be afraid to say so," stressing the bible has provided Britain with “a set of values and morals” that make it “what it is today.”
With the poll and market figures at hand, Cameron's
comments appear as nothing more than a political stunt.
Religious lobby group Christian Voice, openly challenged Cameron's comments saying an organized campaign seems to be in process in Britain against Christianity despite the PM's call on the Church of England to promote moral
values.
“There's a kind of
militant atheism and nasty secularism at work in this country which is completely opposed to Christianity,” Christian Voice's national director Stephen Green said.
His concerns were
echoed by Don
Horrocks, of the
Evangelical Alliance.
“Half a per cent of
cards with religious themes when 70 per cent of people describe themselves as
Christian shows this is totally out of kilter with the country,” he said.

as it should. a nation of edomite heathens who conquered and destroyed the world have been purposely put in darkness because they have a tonne of a-ss whooping coming to them from the lord.

ISAIAH 6 VS 10[b] Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed[/b]

Yet, your two religious countries, Isreal and Nigeria are not as peaceful or economically sound as the UK.


You and your racial theories fail
