"Nones" now outnumber Christians in England and Wales

RE: "Nones" now outnumber Christians in England and Wales
I will address you on an intellectual level, and if you decide you'd like to play on this turf, we'll go for it.

So your article states that a minority population grew by 1.2 million people from 1.6 to 2.8 million people over 10 years. That is a 75% increase in population, which is a lot.

The study, ironically by the political group Muslim Council of Britain, claims that it is possible for this population trend to continue nearly yearly (instead of by decade) for your little statistic to be true.

IOW, you took a half brained analysis of a statistic and parroted it like it was gospel. Just like your buddy Trump.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Yup, you got us Drich. We believe in nothing. I don't even believe that the Earth orbits the sun or that evolution is the best current model for explaining biodiversity or that 2+2=4. You found me out, I don't believe anything.

I will be long dead and forgotten before then so I don't care if it happens or doesn't happen.  However, the muslim population is growing due to the uncontrolled influx of refugees as well as domestic conversions.  As for the 60% figure it's certainly  stretch at this time.  But when you consider all of the demographic changes that are happening it could easily reach 40%.  For instance, just a few years ago the only language spoken in Nashville TN schools was redneck English.  Now over 120 languages are spoken in that backwater's schools.  http://eagnews.org/over-120-languages-sp...e-schools/

Considering the fact that London just elected a muslim mayor and that some areas of London are approaching 50% muslim density it's logical to think that changes like that will accelerate cultural changes.  

Heck, when America was in the midst of Jim Crow in the 1930s Mussolini said that America would have a black President within 100 years.  People thought that he was insane for saying that (he was nutty but right about that).  We got one 74 years later.  https://www.flickr.com/photos/vieilles_a...428147638/

So just because it may seem to be an off base prediction today it may well become reality in the future.

"Those" refer to they who believe in nothing. If you feel you do not qualify because you found belief in something, then the statement does not refer to you.

He's talking about dead people, I think.

Don't feed the troll.

Sadly, he does have a point in this one. Not saying that Britain will be ruled by Sharia law in the next twenty years or whatever but the Islamic presence is quite big. Especially in England.
