UK secularism on rise as more than half say they have no religion [theguardian.com]
Encouraging … but unfortunately too many key positions are still held by figures with deep rooted connections to the churches, e.g. QE2
It seems some developed countries are going in that direction. Ours is increasingly becoming secular but the religious are putting up more of a fight to quell that move. It just means we have to also fight harder.
@uuberdude You have more optimism than I.
more important things to worry about other than which fairy land to believe in. Global warming and carbon footprint is more of a priority . Islam on increase because of immigration, and god knows why all these immigrants want to come to the UK, are we too much of a soft touch ? that they can't live in their own countries ?
Unfortunately the environmental issues are exacerbated by religious beliefs. I was a member of the board and activist for a population organization, ZPG, and we taught that population was the 'core issue.' I now see that religion often drives population growth.
