You're doing everything else right now let's give it the coup de grace.

Quote:British families only attend church at Christmas, new figures suggest
Quote:Britain has become a nation of Christmas-only churchgoers, according to new figures showing a boom in attendance at festive services while Sunday congregations slump to an all-time low.
Official statistics from the Church of England show just over one per cent of the population of England now attends its services on a typical Sunday, a third of the level in the 1970s.
Give 'Murrica something to shoot for.

Shit Min, don't let this get out. All this will do is have the US churches make up celebration days.
Come Celebrate Communion On Our Special Kim Davis Day!

Good for them, but I don't even go to church on Christmas. Usually either whenever someone gets married or dies.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Hardly news  I been saying this for ages, especially with younger British people it's not that common to come across Brits who really do "go to church".
Considered extremely unusual among people my age.

As of January 2015, only 11,5 percent of Catholics (!!!) attended regular sunday services in my country.

Now I think of it, I've literally only been "to church"* twice since I left that Catholic school 4 years ago. Both occasions were for my Dad's funeral.
"To church"* meaning actually going to a service. I do appreciate churches and mosques as historical/architectural sites so I visit them just to see them as I'm travelling.

Lmao no
It was like a 2 day thing, we had one evening service the night before as like a preliminary and then we buried him the following day. Sorry that was worded funny

The only times I've ever been to church was for two weddings, one funeral, and a handful of school trips where we sang hymns and shit. That was Blair's Britain for ya.
