charlie9865   10 #1 Posted March 3, 2012 2030: The year Britain will cease to be a Christian nation with the march of secularism  If trends continue, the number of non-believers is set to overtake the number of Christians by 2030. Do you believe this will be so??? And if so what will happen to the churches?  Full Story:j http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2109488/2030-The-year-Britain-cease-Chrsitian-nation-march-secularism.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Balpin   12 #3 Posted March 3, 2012 At some time along the road it will, as all things must pass.  Come back in a thousand years and Christianity and Islam will be mixed together, much as Frank Herbert suggests in his book Dune.  This futile war between the two cultures cannot be won, by either side. It is a waste of life and money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Secularism and the number (or lack of) of people who believe in Christ are not the same thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

frank ryan   10 #10 Posted March 3, 2012 too late was the cry - it has already stopped being a christian country and thank ( the non existent) god for that - this is a secular country where people are rightly free to practise whichever religion they choose or none - even ireland is pretty much secular now - folk have chosen to spend their sabbaths doing better things with the free time than listening to scary stories about hell and damnation.

Ousetunes   10 #12 Posted March 3, 2012 I reckon so. I reckon around 40 to 50 years.  Even the majority who stated that they were Christian on the last census aren't active ones attending church and so on. Many places of worship have gone, and some that remain have been converted into pubs - arguably this country's real faith (alcohol) - or mosques.  Because no government in this country has been able to prevent the mass influx of Muslims into this country, I believe it is only a matter of time before Islam becomes the main religion here. By which time, non-believers will either be forced to convert or face the consequences of Sharia law which will have replaced the current British/EU 'model'.  On a positive note, I don't expect to be around to see this. Death will offer me a pleasant way out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
