well the logic is that a irreligious society creates a perfect society.

Britain sort of proves that all of societies problems will not be simply solved by getting rid of God. Its way more complicated then that, some people can be so simplistic.

Who on earth ever said that? Is that some stane from religious people to throw something back in our faces when it doesn't work, when we never said it would anyway.

I think you missed his point. It is the general concesus among many that without religion the world would be a better place, although it is not stated in this report.  Reading readers comments on the major newspapers websites pretty much supports this.

It's nonsense to say " throw something back in our faces when it doesn't work".

With or without religion, the greed, hate, envy, prejudice etc., that is present in any society will stay the same. Any intelligent person knows this.

Exactly, this is my point, He seems to be saying that a lot of people were predicting world peace when I don't think that's the case at all.

Back to the thread: The strange thing is that as christians loose their faith others aren't. Immigration and convertion to islam is pushhing muslim numbers up in the UK (from another report).

At some point Britain will be majority atheist but with islam as the dominant practicing religion.

85% atheist, 10% muslim should do the trick.

Be better if the numbers were coming down on all sides.
