70% of young Brits are 'not religious'
BBC News ^ | 03/21/18 | Shiona McCallum

Nearly three-quarters of young Brits identify as having no religion, a report suggests.

Researchers asked the religious views of people aged 16 to 29 across Europe.

They found young people in the Czech Republic are the least religious - with 91% of that age group saying they have no faith at all.

The most religious country in Europe was Poland, where just 17% of young adults define themselves as non-religious.

The figures were published in a report called Europe's Young Adults and Religion - which was a collaboration between St Mary's University in London and the Catholic University of Paris.

The figures are based on data from the most recent European Social Survey, in 2014 and 2016.

People across 21 European countries and in Israel were asked if they consider themselves to belong to any particular religion or denomination.

Not into false, doomsday polls like these:

“Christendom has had a series of revolutions and in each one of them Christianity has died.

Christianity has died many times and risen again; for it had a GOD who knew the way out of the grave.

But the first extraordinary fact which marks this history is this: that Europe has been turned upside down over and over again; and that at the end of each of these revolutions the same religion has again been found on top. The Faith is always converting the age, not as an old religion but as a new religion. This truth is hidden from many by a convention that is too little noticed.”

- GK Chesterton

Civilizations that have a purpose and believe in something will always triumph over civilizations that belief nothing.

The irony is - they are very religious in all but word. They believe in absolute SJW morality and like all good zealots they will attack and destroy those who aren’t true believers.

The “secular” world as we knew it is gone.

Lemme see. Western civilization has an active, dominant faith in God through Jesus Christ. Western civilization thrives and prospers.

Western civilization abandons Christianity to pursue the lusts of the flesh in hedonism and humanism, and Western civilization collapses.

Funny how these people can't connect these dots, isn't it?

Christianity has died many times and risen again; for it had a GOD who knew the way out of the grave.

Absolutely love this, He is Risen! But it also begs the question, is this part of the Great Falling Away that Paul spoke of?

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2 Thessalonians 2:3

70% of young Brits are 'not religious'

This is because most Brits are on welfare, have housing paid, get food allowance, have no jobs, are drunk, have had multiple marriages, abandoned children, and mangle themselves in street brawls on Saturday night. Read some of the essays and books by Theodore Dalrymple about the hopeless downward spiral of British society.

Would that count for a “great apostasy?”

Their state religion was created so that a pervy king could get easy divorces.

They actively oppressed Catholics for centuries.

People watched as the supposed Christian continent actively warred with each other over and over again until almost nothing was left in 1945.

And the NW part of the nation was in a de facto civil war with between two denominations for the basically bragging rights that God loved them more.

What young person in their right mind wants to be part of this?

Quran (3:56) - “As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help.”

https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/violence.aspx

Quran (8:12) - “(Remember) when your Lord inspired the angels... “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them”

Quran (8:59-60) - “And let not those who disbelieve suppose that they can outstrip (Allah’s Purpose). Lo! they cannot escape. Make ready for them all thou canst of (armed) force and of horses tethered, that thereby ye may dismay the enemy of Allah and your enemy.” As Ibn Kathir puts it in his tafsir on this passage, “Allah commands Muslims to prepare for war against disbelievers, as much as possible, according to affordability and availability.”

Meanwhile Islam fills the vacuum along with immorality, and every other vice that will eventually take a huge toll.

In Socialist countries, Socialism is THE religion. None of my Brit n-laws are religious and, in fact, they tend to look down on believers like me.......they cannot believe people are so stupid as to have faith.
