As long as I can go to church on Sunday. Pray at home then I am fine. This story is probably half being told. It is funny that we only pick certain stories to believe. Plus it is in Scotland. A different country than ours. They were not founded on christian beliefs. We were. It is time to only worry about our own country. Let Europe do what it wants. I think they are doing fine on there own.
Much of the Catholic heritage was forcibly destroyed at the time of the Protestant Reformation, but the Scots remained within the Christian fold.
In the Act of Union in 1707, England and Scotland agreed to permanently join as Great Britain; this can be considered the founding of the modern political entity of Scotland. It guaranteed that the Church of Scotland would remain the established church in Scotland, and included the restatement of the Act of Settlement 1701 and the ban on Roman Catholics from taking the throne.
Until the mid-20th century it remained a country in which the holidays, laws, literature, values, civic rituals and education were all Christian. Far more so than in the United States at that time.
At present, Scotland is largely secularized, contraceptive, and showing signs of civilization in decline. Its total fertility rate (1.66) is way, way below replacement, and last year the resident Muslims, who make up at most 3% of its population, had 12% of its babies.
