This is a link post Outlook is bad for Team GB at London 2012
My first Conservapedia post. Also worth looking up their entry for "Bigotry".

This is a normal post Not sure I agree
..that Britain is 'increasingly atheistic' though - think the number of 'atheist' people is roughly the same as it always was, they're just making more fuss about it lately.

Also one must consider immigration - something like a net increase of 200,000 per year isn't it? Most of those are from Eastern Europe and the Asian subcontinent - thus not really shy about the old God-bothering. I'd be very surprised if there are 200,000 per year previously devout people suddenly knocking their lifelong beliefs on the head.

So net I'd say we're actually increasingly religious - or rather increasingly a population of People of Faith, just not in the familiar Anglican way we all knew and loved.

None of which bothers me, for the record. Just saying.

This is a normal post Dunno.
Church attendance rates are certainly falling, which is probably also a cultural thing, but you would think that believers would still go.

I guess it is easier to be openly atheist nowadays, whereas in the past you would probably be forced to attend church and keep quiet regardless.

Also, regarding immigration, that must mean that kids get exposed to a wider variety of religious practises, so it must be harder to indoctrinate them into a single one as I'm sure any child can easily see that they can't all be right.

That said, having a vague belief in "spirituality" is probably the fastest growing 'religion' in this country. People can be religious without organised religion.

This is a normal post Next time someone says they are 'spiritual'

Ask them nicely what that means and listen to the confusion :))

This is a normal post I agree that it's a broad and often misused term
but it does have a few genuine meanings and definitions, and not everyone who uses the word can be unaware of them.

This is a normal post I read somewhere that only 8 in 1000 brits go to church nowadays
and the number is falling.
