It’ s comforting to say Christians in Great Britain are under siege from radical secularists and multiculturalists but that wouldn’t be the whole story. Many Brits have lined up to voluntarily forget and quit the religion of their ancestors. It’s not just in Great Britain but all over Europe as well and many negative results happened as a result. Notably has been the declining birthrates across Europe, lack of continuity and community, a mindless pursuit of comfort and leisure and skyrocketing divorce rates. In light of these trends it should not come as a surprise that “British Christians do not think religion should have a special influence on public policy and display low levels of belief and practice.”
Despite identifying themselves with the religion, most turn out to be overwhelmingly secular in their attitudes on issues ranging from gay rights to religion in public life, the Ipsos Mori poll found.
Almost three quarters (74 per cent) agreed that religion should not influence public policy, while only about one in eight (12 per cent) thought it should, the survey found.
Conducted for the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science (UK), it also found that 92 per cent of Christians agreed the law should apply to everyone equally, regardless of their personal religious beliefs.
It comes as Baroness warsi, a minister, warns that British society is under threat from the rising tide of “militant secularisation” reminiscent of “totalitarian regimes”.
In an historic visit to the Vatican, Baroness Warsi will express her “fear” about the marginalisation of religion throughout Britain and Europe, saying that faith needs “a seat at the table in public life”.
Meanwhile, a growing an exertive Muslim cultural-conquest is taking advantage of a soulless and disinterested native population.
Researchers found 77% of adult Muslims actively practise the faith they were brought up in, compared with 29% of Christians and 65% of other religions.
They also found 98% of Muslim children surveyed said they had the religion their parents were brought up in.
They said the research suggested religion helps minority communities.
The research found 62% of Christian children surveyed had the same religion of their parents, compared with 98% of Muslims and 89% of other religions.
“There is more involvement of Muslim young people in religious organisations,” the study from Cardiff’s School of Social Sciences and Centre for the Study of Islam in the UK said.
The US has been no stranger to these problems either but so far not to the extent that is being witnessed in Europe and Great Britain.
You seem to be implying that people who are not religious or apathetic will somehow allow law and legislation to be controlled by Muslims. Are you implying that, and if you are, what makes you think that?
I don’t think I implied that all but it does sound totally possible if we use history as the standard. But since you are Darwinian you probably understand and agree with the notion that life is a battle of the wills. If one’s will is stronger than the next, the lesser will lose out to the better. The same goes collectively. A large community singularly focused can easily undo those who hold nothing in common except air and space.
The title has a typo: the contraction “it’s” should be replaced by the possessive “its” …
… unless of course you meant to say “Further Proof England Is Losing It Is Christian Heritage”
By the way, the Christian religion once DID have a special influence on public policy. It was called “The Inquisition.”
Thanks for the typo. Fixed. I tend to be a real pro at typos.
“The Inquisition” really? That sums up Christianity as it relates to the Western world?
