I would say that many British would consider themselves "Christian" in the sense that they kind of believe in God, but are not willing to do prayer or go to church.

This ^

 

And the amount of dumb sluts, or to put it nicely, uneducated whores that go to my school and wear that damn crucifix around their neck and call themselves christian is ridiculous, I bet almost none of them have even read the bible or even know anything about christianity at all other than what they've learnt in RE. They just wear it as a fashion statement of somekind. Not that I'm christian or religious in any way, but the ignorance and stupidity of it just pisses me off.

Wait, is it cool to be Christian now? I've never seen anybody wear a crucifix simply as a fashion item xD


Isn't your belief what truly matters in the Protestant church though? You can go to church, pray and all that but it's not a requirement. If you believe in Jesus and his teachings you are a (protestant) Christian.

That number is high but probably depends on what you consider religious, if religious is attending church reguarly then no I am not. If asked do I believe in Christina values Yes and am.

But not all of them, right? Pure christian's and the Bible is strictly against people being homo and/or believig in other religions.

I'm offensive and I find this christian.

I used to be christian, but then I took some common sense to the brain.

Great! Though it definitely doesn't feel that way where I am. Almost everyone in my school is either muslim or christian, maybe only 5-10% would call themselves atheist/agnostic. I'm in Brent though, the most multi-cultural area in Europe, so this is an anomaly.

Historically and culturally (though not anymore), Britain could be called Christian, but thankfully christians are becoming a minority here according to the polls. (No offence)

Oh wow, apparently in Brent only 30.9% are White British, in comparison to where I live, which has a 91.7% rate xD

Yep, it came as a surprise to most of my class that britain is like 90% white. Out of 25 students about 5 of us are white, ana about 3 out of those 5 are white british, I'm white european. 

There's only around 15 non-white students in my year of 180 people - it's a shame really

Compared to about 15 % of Americans are non-religous. We could learn a lot from the British it seems.

That's not the point. These people don't believe it because they've read the bible, are educated on the topic of religion and genuinely think it's true. They didn't come to christianity after seeking truth, fuck, most of them weren't even indoctrinated, they just wear a cross and call themselves christian because they think it makes them superior somehow or because the rappers and singers they like wear a cross.

Sounds like Winchester, where I lived before I left for university in London.  I'm a quarter Indian and I was the only 'not entirely British' person at my primary school, which had about 200 students.  At secondary school, which had about 1100 students, outside of a few Nepalese people, 3 Guyanians and a girl from Singapore, it was completely white.  Once I left for my 6th form college, which attracted lots of students from the more multicultural Southampton, the students were more varied.  Now I'm at university in London (units split between LSE and Queen Mary) and living on the QM campus in Mile End, where the surronding area is at least 60% Bangladeshi, it's quite different culturally (and in many ways better) that central Hampshire.

You are surprised? I thought it was common knowledge that the American people are among the most brainwashed ;)
