Christianity Declining in Britain At Faster Rate

From the Telegraph:

[The UK's Office of National Statistics] 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. 

While almost half of British Muslims are under the age of 25, almost a quarter of Christians are over 65. 

The average age of a British Muslim is just 25, not far off half that of a British Christian.
Younger people also drove a shift away from religion altogether, with 6.4 million more people describing themselves as having no faith than 10 years earlier. 

... Dr Fraser Watts, a Cambridge theologian, said it was “entirely possible” the people identifying themselves as Christians could become a minority within the next decade on the basis of the figures. 

“It is still pretty striking and it is a worrying trend and confirms what anyone can observe - that in many churches the majority of the congregation are over 60,” he said. 

Keith Porteous Wood, executive director of the National Secular Society, said the long-term reduction of Christianity, particularly among young people, was now “unstoppable”. 

“In another 20 years there are going to be more active Muslims than there are churchgoers,” he said.

The problem is that Christians are an open target for both official and unofficial discrimination. At some point, British Christians will either have to flee the country or abandon their faith.
