UK - Christianity declining, Atheism rising, but so is Islam...

I'm not really sure what the muslims are doing to spread so quickly, unless it's through fear. though you'd think in a more developed nation people would be more eager to call the police than convert.

PEW surveys show that Muslim families have more children on average - it's far more likely that their children will retain their faith as apostasy is stricter in Islam. Also immigration in Britain is quite high.
It's not likely Muslims will surpass or level the rest of the british population in the next decades, there's little to worry about - Additionally, the young are often rebellious so there's a higher chance british kids (Muslims) would leave the religion because of (1) secular education and science teaching (2) there's no penalty for apostasy in Britan (I think)

I've never lived in an area of the UK where religion is even an issue, so I've not seen first hand what happens in such situations or how a Muslim community would treat a deconvert. I'd be very surprised and disgusted to hear of any official penalty. Surely there isn't one in America either? RE: UK - Christianity declining, Atheism rising, but so is Islam...

Religious freedom is the most abused law in any secular country.
