Christianity in Britain Losing Ground to Islam, Secularism

New figures from the 2011 Census show that the number of people who identify as Christians in England and Wales has fallen by 4 million over the last 10 years -- from 37.3 million in 2001 to 33 million last year, the Religion News Service reports.

Meanwhile, the number of people declaring themselves to be atheists rose by more than 6 million, to 14.1 million. "It should serve as a warning to the churches that their increasingly conservative attitudes are not playing well with the public at large," said Terry Sanderson, president of the National Secular Society.

Other polls have detected similar shifts: The 2012 British Social Attitudes Survey showed that only about half of Britons claim a religious affiliation, down sharply from 20 years ago when two out of three did. Barely a quarter of young people identify themselves as religious. The new figures also show that Islam is the U.K.'s second-largest religion, at 2.7 million. Hinduism is third, at 817,000, and the number of self-identified Jews rose from 260,000 to 263,000.

I favor a Two State Solution: A Londonistani state, with London as its undivided capital. A bit more ambitious, but right in line with today's reasoning, would be including the M1 motorway and feeders in a "contiguous state" including also Birmingham, Bradford, Leicester and Luton. It's time for the Crusaders to stop their occupation of historic Al-Bion.

If you could fix the congestion on the M1 I think most Londoners would go for this plan.

And the phrase "losing ground" means a situation in trend (not in stasis), ergo your "still" has little meaning, referring merely to a point in time.

You would.

Except for the minor matter that the population of London is 8.2 million, somewhat more than the Muslim population (like more than three times it).

And the vast majority of the Muslim population of the UK coexist with the Christian, Hindu, Jewish and Atheist population just fine.

It's the secular sharia domination that Newt warned us about!

Secularism isn't against religion, so I'm not sure why that is being made out as bad. In fact secularism could end up being good for religion, so that atheists can't ban religion. Atheism is different from secularism.

The tune of "it's the end of the world as we know it" would apparently be appropriate...

The number of Christians in the country is actually pretty much constant and much lower than the census records. Less people have a cultural association with the church. The elements of the church that are growing or holding their own are conservative evangelicals , Catholics and Pentecost. It is the liberal elements of the church that are in rapid decline.

Don't worry. Great Britain, as the third horseman, will reign for a thousand years.

UK Muslim population doubled in a decade

Date and Time:22 December 2012 - 12:40 - Print This Post

Figures from the 2011 census have revealed that the Muslim population in Britain has almost doubled in ten years so that Muslims make up 50 percent of the residents in some British towns.

Between 2001 and 2011, the Muslim population rose from 1.5 million to 2.7 million, an increase from 3 percent to 4.8 percent of Britain’s overall population.According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) that conducted the census, the multiplying of Britain’s Muslim population has occurred for several reasons.

The ONS said an important reason for the massive growth in Muslims in Britain is the rising number of Britons who are choosing to convert to Islam.There are estimates that hundreds of Britons convert to Islam every month, making a significant contribution to the steadily increasing number of Muslims in the country.

Meanwhile, the London Evening Standard reported that many white British-born people are becoming a minority in their own cities, as almost 50 percent of residents in some British towns are Muslim.

The English people are facing a true demographic onslaught.

Christianity is being replaced by... ? Never mind...

Did that article come from Stormfront? Cities don't belong to races they belong to the individuals who live in them. The cities belong just as much to non-white citizens as the white ones.

To put this "demographic onslaught" into perspective (using the equivalent percentages of the US population): The Muslim population of the UK was analogous to the Lutheran population of the US ten years ago, whereas now the proportion is similar to the Methodist population of the US.

According to your article, many of them are converting -- so what's the problem?

They are daming themselves to hellfire, for becoming Satan worshipping Mooslems
