- Stevanoski, on 06/21/2008, -53/+442If Christianity is of man then it will die, if it is of God, nothing can stop it.
- stephenhacking, on 06/20/2008, -110/+469Its not possible for it to happen in such a small time frame.
It lasted for 2000 years it will last longer. - HuskyPuzzle, on 06/20/2008, -122/+324I don't know about this -- Santa and the Easter Bunny have endured and they're completely made up too...
- Paktu, on 06/21/2008, -36/+219I'm guessing a lot of my fellow Diggers will gloat over this development, and perhaps with good cause. The problem is that Britain will not become secular, Islam will become the dominant religion and begin to impose its own rules and values- just look at the recent introduction of Sharia law for civil court cases there.
Speaking as an agnostic, I ask you all to be careful what you wish for here. Say what you will about Christians, but at least they have generally respected our religious freedom. Try to name one Muslim country with a significant atheist/agnostic minority. - wazzledoozle2, on 06/21/2008, -64/+235There was more technological progress in the 20th century than in all of human history before, combined.
Religion is finally taking its rightful place in the history books, not everyday life. - visionaryIX, on 06/21/2008, -40/+205It might surprise digg in your middle/upper class homes, but Christianity around the world surprisingly actually does achieve a lot of good. Salvation Army, anyone? Yes - its not perfect, interference with politics isn't what most churches intend.
Many food banks are organised by Churches (without recognition), and most churches give back a significant amount of donations to the community. I know most parishes go to lower decile schools to provide maintenance. This is above nursing programmes, counciling services, all of which go unnoticed.
I really, really doubt this would be a good thing, and I highly doubt it will ever happen. - j1ggy, on 06/21/2008, -5/+166Hopefully Scientology dies out first...
- moriarty23, on 06/21/2008, -18/+141Oh, we hate them too.
- lolcoderer, on 06/21/2008, -95/+216Thank god!
- inactive, on 06/20/2008, -22/+132"In contrast, the number of actively religious Muslims is predicted to increase from about one million today to 1.96 million in 2035." (FTA)
- AManWithNoName, on 06/21/2008, -131/+235Now if only we could get rid of it in America too.
- DucoNihilum, on 06/21/2008, -9/+105Buried as inaccurate. This is a survey, just because they believe it doesn't make it true. The title is intentionally misleading.
- omnithought, on 06/21/2008, -68/+161Thank Science!
- LeviTheSmith, on 06/21/2008, -50/+140I don't understand why you guys hate Christians so much...
There are far worst religions out there.. - Chainheart, on 06/21/2008, -19/+95I'm going to be bold and guess 500 comments on this one by noon.
- AshamedAmerican, on 06/21/2008, -17/+87Delusional much?
- AManWithNoName, on 06/21/2008, -22/+91RAmen.
- WiseWeasel, on 06/21/2008, -96/+159Well, considering that God is of man, I guess that's a wrap. It won't be missed.
All hail the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the only true deity. - TheTaoOfBill, on 06/21/2008, -33/+94You guys don't seem to understand religion, especially Christianity. You atheists are aware there are multiple types of Christians right? And with 80% of America being Christian I do not understand how you could think it's that bad.
We aren't all extremist idiots who go to gay funerals and with pickets that says God hates fags. We aren't all child molesters. Hell we aren't even all idiots who don't believe in science.
You have taken the worst of Christianity and labeled us all as such. That's exactly what biggotry is.
You all act like all wars would disappear if it weren't for religion. You think Osama Bin Ladin attacked us because his religion told him too! *****! He attacked us because he had an anti American agenda and he used religion as a tool to control the masses. If religion didn't exist he would have used something else.
War goes back to the very beginnings of man kind. Even before there was evidence of religious rituals. To say religion is the cause of all our problems is no less naive than some Christians who say evolution does not exist.
Either way you are ignoring a hell of a lot of evidence just to hold on to your silly beliefs that go against science and human nature.
Instead of hating on all Christians why don't you join the smart ones. Not as fellow Christians but as fellow intelligent people fighting ignorance.
Because it's not religion that is destroying humanity. It's ignorance and self righteousness. - abcedarian, on 06/21/2008, -1/+62Actually Santa is based on Saint Nicholas, a very real person.
- notoneofus, on 06/21/2008, -8/+68Rational thought?
- afx1, on 06/21/2008, -10/+70he's a biggot because he doesn't support christianity?
- Nappuccino, on 06/21/2008, -7/+66*ahem*
Scientology - bawitback, on 06/21/2008, -11/+67I lol'd
- inactive, on 06/21/2008, -28/+80Ironically, your post is also hate speech.
- relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -15/+66Let people believe what they will believe.
- vanbacon, on 06/21/2008, -4/+54Oh my science
- rustintable, on 06/21/2008, -15/+65I bet MMORPGs will replace religion.
- ferrell, on 06/21/2008, -46/+94FACT: Educated, intelligent people do not believe in fairytale creatures.
PERIOD. END OF STORY.
Please digg me down if it makes your imaginary friend feel more real. - marjo9, on 06/21/2008, -11/+59well aren't you the cutest little thing
- inactive, on 06/21/2008, -36/+84Is it all a matter of economics then?
"According to Religious Trends, an analysis of religious practice in Britain, the huge drop off in attendance means that the Church of England, Catholicism and other denominations will become financially unviable."
Sad that the original idea of living a loving, helping and sober life with our neighbour as preached by Jesus has mislead in running a sort of enterprise. - omnithought, on 06/21/2008, -9/+56If I was a praying man, I'd pray for it.
- Surferess, on 06/21/2008, -5/+52I think you mean ditto. That word you used is looking like something else entirely.
- martian, on 06/21/2008, -6/+52lol
- relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -3/+48Didn't care much for her last album.
- blackjack75, on 06/21/2008, -14/+56Predicted by who? Many so-called "actively religious" muslims tend to be recent immigrants with a lower level education. As soon as their children get a higher level education, which the system should provide, I am pretty sure the numbers will actually go down.
- inactive, on 06/21/2008, -10/+52I doubt you actually believe atheism is dieing out. On second thoughts, no, you're probably that stupid.
- SquigglyP, on 06/21/2008, -8/+48replacing one stupid religion for another is not exactly progress in my book...
- charm803, on 06/21/2008, -7/+44I was touched by His Noodley Appendage!
But beware of the Anti-Pasta, who comes to confuse us Pastafarians! - 10scott10, on 06/21/2008, -3/+40we could build those now if we wanted to. just because we don't know how they did it, doesn't mean it is more advanced
- zerosaber8, on 06/21/2008, -14/+51What about all other religions?
- Yarmin3, on 06/21/2008, -40/+77Christianity is so obsolete it's not even funny. There's no doubt it will become mythology like many belief systems before but it sadly still might be a while because it was said to be on its way out by some of our founding fathers in the late 18th century.
- OJXs, on 06/21/2008, -11/+46moron alert.
- itignition, on 06/21/2008, -15/+49Survey is informative garbage. These fools need to take statistics again and read about sample vs. population and think about the world Christianity population rather than asking a bunch of ***** British random people about global phase out. It like asking a bunch of people in the States if the populace of the world are less interested in soccer because ESPN is not slotting it on prime-time.
I cant believe some people actually pass interviews for research... - BestJaxx, on 06/21/2008, -15/+47I don't care who goes first as long as my kids get to see them both die out.
- bratterscain, on 06/21/2008, -4/+35If hoping it dies out is being a bigot, then I'm a bigot. Religion just adds another layer of obscurity to what we would otherwise see as truth. And yeah, you're going to reply and query, perhaps, mock my belief system which is impossible. I don't believe. There is nothing wrong with not jumping to conclusions and not believing there's a huge man in the universe who made tinier versions of him to trod around on a marble in space and that's who we are. There's nothing wrong with not wanting to make up stuff for what we don't know yet.
Some people are so pressed to believe that I must believe in something, or something made us, or I *must* jump to conclusions about what I don't know. I only put my trust in science. Raw, hard, in-your-face, no-bones-about-it, scientific facts. I don't consider myself a bigot though because those that believe in the ***** most Christians believe in really deserve some criticism for their beliefs which birth motivations based on sometimes entirely illogical and contradicting tales. - inactive, on 06/21/2008, -5/+36Wishing for the end of an organization is not bigoted, jimmyspaza.
- chazza125, on 06/21/2008, -3/+34Don't hold back there
- fuzzybeard, on 06/21/2008, -7/+38How does pointing out a blatant error constitute hate speech?
