The researcher in the article must be an imbecile if he does not know it already.

Nonetheless, yes, sorry, Christians, you're now officially a minority in the Great Britain that was never great anyway I wish Missus Brown were alive, but one can't wish for too much. I'm happy as long the sun sets I guess LMAO.

If Tony were to visit the capital Englishbad again, he will learn to eat his humble kabob.
Last census (2001) the Muslim pop was at 3 percent. Do you really think it will soon be a majority (I don't know - I don't keep up). I'm curious what the 2011 census reveals. I suspect the current minority status of Christianity is mostly due to the English moving away from Christian dogma due to the ever arriving/slow ascent of "the age of reason".

I think the count coming so soon after the Pope’s visit, and the anger over how much tax money was spent on his visit during an economic crisis had a lot to do with the nonreligious swing. There had been significant press on the cost which I think was 20,000,000 pounds, and why the pope was not covering it himself. Than the movement to have him arrested and a public who is aware of the RCC’s historic abuses, brought new live into the move and acceptance of rejecting religion. I wish we could see such a move in the US.

You're attack isn't successful because it isn't credible.
I don't think Dawkins is bright either. He is the quintessential type of atheist that I cannot peacefully co-exist with because he is intolerant of the fact that everyone has a right to their own world view.

There are many churches that would not perform a marriage for me, even though I am heterosexual. Why? Because I am not a member and do not subscribe to their dogmas and doctrine. Is that really so hard to understand. Should we force churches to do anything, really?

The question then is whether everyone has the right to their own world view?
I mean, does a Nazi have the right to insist that all Jews belong in a death camp?

Are you saying that we shouldn't force the church to do the right thing?
For example: should the RCC keep ignoring their paedophile priests who can't keep their hands off the children who come to their churches?

Why do you act as thought this is a thing to celebrate? If you ask me the loss of a religion is the loss of a culture and is something to be mourned.

Yes he does have that right....but he doesn't have the right to 'respect' for his belief.

See my answer to Jimmie...I have never said that churches should be forced to do anything, but churches are not the only ones that marry...

You have you opinion and I have mine...The loss of religion is cause for celebration, but it does not mean the loss of culture.
