It's the country with the most Christians and the largest world influence. You'd be dumb to dismiss something so glaringly obvious. Did you think that the UK is the world's authority on Christianity?
You have no idea what Christianity is about. Period. Go learn something then speak from authority - not the other way around as you're doing here. Of course this is where you get your petty accusations - you're talking about yourself obviously.

You're saying religious teachings aren't knowledge. I referred you to bible studies, sunday school, and creationism, which are all taught as fact.
I could quote you examples of Atheists not being atheists too. What does that prove??

You're mixing concepts of knowledge and absolute truth. Your christian definition of knowledge apparently is putting in all sorts of crap that confuse you as to the actual meaning of the term.
Well that's a nice way of excusing a refusal to consider a point.

That is an imbecilic conclusion

And I accurately described how they know to you. This is non negotiable. You are speaking from a position of non understanding on the subject, and you have the audacity to tell me what I think?

Here's an article that would hit home:

Just under half of Britons accept the theory of evolution as the best description for the development of life, according to an opinion poll.
Furthermore, more than 40% of those questioned believe that creationism or intelligent design (ID) should be taught in school science lessons.
This is happening in your country as well. Or will you make the point that this is not taught as knowledge, or people who are making this decision are on the fence about the existence of God?
'Briton' has a Christian population of about 6%. The people polled are not Christians.
People attending church in the UK at least monthly number 15% http://www.whychurch.org.uk/trends.php
