They didn't put don't care, 46% put Christian and therefore count as Christians no matter how often they attend church that is the original point.Wait, so people who put ‘don’t care’ as a response on surveys don’t count in your eyes, unless they’re putting ‘don’t care’ about their religion on a census, in which case it means they’re still Christians?You’re going to pull a muscle with all that reaching!
Oh I see what the issue is…A lot if by 2100 we were plurality Muslim
You were saying agnostics with a Christian background still counted. And we’re saying that counting “Christians” like my mum inflates the count. But then you brought in hints of Islamophobia and suddenly your keenness to keep Christian numbers inflated rather than truly accurate became clearer…They didn't put don't care, 46% put Christian and therefore count as Christians no matter how often they attend church that is the original point.
It creased me up too, am hoping they’re just trolling now but a bit worried it’s notWait, so people who put ‘don’t care’ as a response on surveys don’t count in your eyes, unless they’re putting ‘don’t care’ about their religion on a census, in which case it means they’re still Christians?You’re going to pull a muscle with all that reaching!
Nah, they did this in the welsh conversation a couple threads back too, refused to concede any point and wouldn’t let go.Then we all got a gentle warning for being off topicIt creased me up too, am hoping they’re just trolling now but a bit worried it’s not
They do, if on a forced choice they were asked whether they were culturally Christian or culturally Muslim.You were saying agnostics with a Christian background still counted.

Anyway it’s off topic as hell so let it go now, yeah? No one is arguing Britain’s Christian history, but it’s a multi faith nation now and I think that’s beautiful, and it’s very cool of Charles to make a point of supporting that.
Why would anyone ask anyone that question? It’s not an either/or thing, there are other religions in the world.They do, if on a forced choice they were asked whether they were culturally Christian or culturally Muslim.
Another poster was giving the example of their mum who ticks Christian out of habit but doesn’t actually believe in god. Regardless of what box they tick they are no more a Christian than my kitchen table (and I don’t even have a kitchen table) and to think they are is delusional.They do, if on a forced choice they were asked whether they were culturally Christian or culturally Muslim.
However even ignoring them 46% still said they were Christian. We are a multi faith nation but still 46% are Christian and only just over 10% other religions. Charles is also still the defender of the Christian faith and the Church of England, as he will affirm at the coronation
Well over half the global population are Christian or Muslim and growingWhy would anyone ask anyone that question? It’s not an either/or thing, there are other religions in the world.
Honestly, this is a weird and xenophobic take, it’s nothing to do with the royal family, so just let it go, yeah?
Because you are an ideological secular atheist, tough, they ticked the Christian box. They define themselves as ChristianAnother poster was giving the example of their mum who ticks Christian out of habit but doesn’t actually believe in god.

Are you concerned by this?or Muslim and growing
When I was at school, my religion was put down as Christian but the only time I stepped in a church was when I went with brownies/girl guides or went on a school trip. I have no belief in God, neither do any of my family. None of my relatives who have died in recent years have had a religious funeral service. I imagine there are a lot of people who say they are a religion but don’t believe in it.A lot of people describe themselves as Christian because they went to the local CofE school but haven’t seen the inside of a church for years or give any thought to religion. Certainly the fact that so many UK churches are so empty these days wouldn’t back up the 46%
Christianity is growing globally too, just Islam growing even stronger. Atheism and irreligion is actually declining outside the West percentage wise but as the West is also declining population wise it is declining overallAre you concerned by this?
Firstly we’re supposed to be talking about the RF so I’m not sure what the global numbers of anything have to do with it and secondly, you really are coming over as very naive and fixated about things, not sure if that’s deliberate but it’s not working as a way of convincing anybodyWell over half the global population are Christian or Muslim and growing

Ooh GodYes they are, as unlike Hockey you don't need to 'play' Christianity and attend services every week to be a Christian, or even pray regularly or read the bible. Just believe in Christ and feel culturally Christian.
It got better, later on ticking a box even though you don’t believe in god makes you a Christian. You can’t make this upOoh God
I am not interested in convincing anyone, for as well known on here I am an ideological monarchist Christian. I come here to state my points, nothing more. It also has a lot to do with the RF given the King will still be Supreme Governor of our established Christian ChurchFirstly we’re supposed to be talking about the RF so I’m not sure what the global numbers of anything have to do with it and secondly, you really are coming over as very naive and fixated about things, not sure if that’s deliberate but it’s not working as a way of convincing anybody
I reckon we could end it with this screenshot. That’s a hefty drop of numbers in just 10 years. Growth of Christianity and Islam worldwide is completely irrelevant to the discussion, and trying to turn it into Christianity versus Islam really shouldn’t be entertained here. It’s gross.Oh jeez. We going to have a tedious debate about this for a few pages now?

He won't, he has already confirmed he will take his oath to defend the Anglican faith as Supreme Governor of the Church of England at the Coronation. As every monarch has since the Reformation and the Pope ceased to be head of the English national churchI reckon we could end it with this screenshot. That’s a hefty drop of numbers in just 10 years.
