It's not often you see an obituary as snarky and bitter as the one written by British columnist Johann Hari announcing what he called the "slow, whining death of British Christianity" in the UK edition of GQ and online at The Huffington Post.

Citing an unlinked ICM study, which is not available on the organization's website, Hari called on reader to "put your hands together and give thanks, for I come bearing Good News. My country,Britain, is now on the most irreligious country on earth."

Hari called Christianity, "superstition," "weak," "cruel," and based on "intimidation." He predicted that, "As their dusty Churches crumble because nobody wants to go there" and predicted that "the few remaining Christians in Britain will only become more angry and uncomprehending."

...Hari reported that 63 percent of British respondents called themselves non-believers, and "only six percent of British people regularly attend religious services." While religious believers might find such number disheartening, Hari celebrated. "Now, let us stand and sing our new national hymn: Jerusalem was dismantled here / in England's green and pleasant land."

Secular imspired anti-catholicsm is strongly on the rise in the UK atm. Some of my Catholic friends tell me things have gotten really bad since the “Priest-Paedophile” scandal broke.
