Report: Christianity Facing "Catastrophic Collapse" In Britain, Number Of
Muslims Surges By 75%.
We can all see where this is headed.
Christianity could be facing a catastrophic collapse in Britain according
to official figures suggesting it is declining 50 per cent faster than
previously thought.
A new analysis of the 2011 census shows that a decade of mass immigration
helped mask the scale of decline in Christian affiliation among the
British-born population - while driving a dramatic increase in Islam,
particularly among the young.
It suggests that only a minority of people will describe themselves as
Christians within the next decade, for first time.
Meanwhile almost one in 10 under 25s in Britain is now a Muslim.
The proportion of young people who describe themselves as even nominal
Christians has dropped below half for the first time.
Initial results from the 2011 census published last year showed that the
total number of people in England and Wales who described themselves as
Christian fell by 4.1 million - a decline of 10 per cent. [...]
They disclosed that there were in fact 5.3 million fewer British-born
people describing themselves as Christians, a decline of 15 per cent in just
a decade.
At the same time the number of Muslims in England and Wales surged by 75
per cent - boosted by almost 600,000 more foreign born followers of the
Islamic faith.

As a Christian, an empty Church isn't always a bad thing.
Less people, more room for God.
Particularly noticable in the Anglican faith- far less attended than in
the past, but arguably a lot more relevant. Being right and being
popular rarely go hand in hand.
