Quote:LOOOL - So now the RD foundation determines who's Christian? Fuck him. If you call yourself a Christian and believe in god, you are a Christian. Dawkins needs to realize you don't need to read the whole bible and go to church everyday to be a Christian, that's bullshit. He doesn't get to say who's a real Christian or not, that's a no true scotsman fallacy - If 59% identifies as Christian, they are Christian. In my country, 80% are Christian and only 20% go to church, but that doesn't mean only 20% are Christian. You don't even need to read the bible or pray to be a Christian, you just gotta believe in Jesus.
The fact is that it is dishonest to call British a ''Christian nation'' considering the beliefs are pathetically weak; most are unsure of a personal belief in god and are closer to Deists. If you cant answer a basic question about Christianity, you're a CINO - Christian in name only. I was religious in name only too; even if we consider them ''Christian'' --- it's overstated as hell.
Quote:Poor families have more children on average - That is true for many immigrants. Africans, latinos and other minorities also have more children - That's very common... People seem to think bigotry against religion is somewhat special because religion is a "choice" and race is not - The truth is I don't buy into the "free will" argument so I don't see anything as a choice. Bigotry against religion being made special because it's not a race is special pleading and still a prejudice. Additionally, it's a special pleading to think Islam is somehow different, it's a religion like any other, and it's prone to the same good and evil.
Muslim families have more children on average. The Muslim population in the next few decades will outnumber the Christian population.

That's true world-wide.
''Generally, Muslim populations tend to have higher fertility rates (more children per woman) than non-Muslim populations''
Note: this isn't anything bad, it's just a statistical trend. I was answering someone's question of why the Muslim population is increasing.
