UNITED KINGDOM, March 23, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) Despite his years of denouncing religion, Richard Dawkins does not welcome a European future without Christianity.
On Wednesday, the atheist author and evolutionary biologist warned those inclined to rejoice at the death throes of the relatively benign Christian religion to keep in mind the danger of "something worse" taking its place.
That worse alternative, Dawkins suggests, is Islam, which he has previously called the most evil religion in the world.
Dawkins was reacting to a Guardian report on recent polling that shows 70% of people in the United Kingdom between the ages of 16 and 29 do not identify with any religion, that 59% of them never attend religious services, and that almost two-thirds of them never pray.
The research, published by theology and sociology professor Stephen Bullivant of St. Marys University in London, finds similarly high numbers in other European nations. Sweden, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic all have even higher percentages of non-religious young people, while the young populations of France, Belgium, and Hungary are all more than 60% non-religious. More than half of the age group in Finland, Denmark, Norway, and Spain is non-religious, as well.
Christianity as a default, as a norm, is gone, and probably gone for good or at least for the next 100 years, Bullivant says. Cultural religious identities just arent being passed on from parents to children. It just washes straight off them.

Islam is a curse on nations that forget God.
Good Bye Europe. Once freedom is lost, ya gotta pay a big, Big, BIG price to get it back - IF you can get it back . . . .
Ya heard it here first.
Snoot
And Richard, you helped to bring it about.
Oh, is he just waking up to that fact? Gee....he must be Smart!!!
Absolutely correct.
Realization comes too late for those who have forsaken all wisdom and said “there is no God”.
He was great on Hogan’s Heroes.

So, he finally admits to being an idiot. Humans want religion. It is in our DNA. He and his kind took the only one that actually connects us to God away from our culture. It was replaced with mysticism, paganism, and the anti-christianity.

Dawkins telling the truth didn't bring this about. The trouble with Islam has to do with the culture of it's Arab practitioners.
I wonder if Dawkins will ever regret all he did to try to cover for the encroaching anti-theism that he promoted.
Well and concisely said. Bravo.
Mr. Dawkins has got it in reverse. Christianity is not dying. Europe is dying, and sadly so. They've rejected God and God has handed Europe over to Satan for a time. Islam is one of Satan's agents.
When the true and holy Word of God is defamed as "hate speech", not just in Europe but also Canada and soon California, New York, etc. it is right for God to turn his protection and providence from them.
Thanks marshmallow. It'll almost be worth it if I get to watch the Islamofascists behead Richard Dawkins.
Do you think he understands the irony of that?
Indeed.
There is nothing worse than Islam.
You have it backwards.
Arab culture is the way it is because of Islam.
Richard did gloss over that blatant inconvenient fact.
Anything other than Christianity is something worse.
Jesus loves me yes I know. No fear.
