They need to repent and return to Christianity. Even foremost British atheists admit that Christianity worked, while nothing about secularism works.

Otherwise, God will allow Western civilization to disappear because He blesses those who follow Him and allows the consequences to fall upon the disobedient for those who won’t follow Him.

Mahatma Gandhi is credited with a brilliantly acerbic remark...:

Journalist: What do you think of Western civilization?
Gandhi: I think it would be a good idea.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any solid citations for this sharp exchange.

In 2022 the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, announced his intention to create a baccalaureate to promote technical education to the city region’s young people. Upon his third re-election as mayor, Burnham committed to give “everyone who grows up [in Greater Manchester] an equal alternative to the university route so all our young people have a path in life and hope in their heart”.

At 14, students must choose which subjects to study to GCSE level. The MBacc fulfils a similar function to the English Baccalaureate (EBacc), in that it is a guide to help students in their choice, based on subjects which good universities consider necessary. Within the MBacc, seven job pathways exist, which correspond to the subjects and qualifications desired most by employers in each industry:

Construction and the Green Economy
Creative, Culture and Sport
Digital and Technology
Education and Early Years
Engineering and Manufacturing
Financial and Professional
Health and Social Care

English language and literature, maths, sciences and digital skills are ‘core qualifications’ and part of every pathway.
