It is no longer news that there have been various attacks on Christians by some deformed Islamic sects lately and the have vowed to continue with the attacks according to the words of Micheal Adeboloajo, the man who chopped a solider, Rigby, in the UK couple of weeks ago. But what baffles me the most is that, if the Islamist eventually outweigh the Christians in 10 years according to the figures that suggest that there are 5.3 million
fewer British-born people describing themselves as Christians. It
represents a decline of 15% in just a decade, despite a growth in the
overall population.
Meanwhile the number of Muslims in
the UK has climbed up by 75% as almost 600,000 followers of the Islamic
faith immigrated to the country over the past decade. Followers of the
Islamic faith are also the youngest worshipers, with an average age of
25, while Christians are 45.
The analysis also suggests
that number of people identifying themselves as atheists has increased
by 10 per cent, with 6.4 million more Englishmen describing themselves
as having no faith than a decade ago.Keith Porteous
Wood, executive director of the National Secular Society, said that the long-term reduction of Christianity, particularly
among young people, was “unstoppable”.
The change has
been called a “significant cultural shift” by the British Humanist
Association, while the Church of England insisted it still retain a
strong base of believers. From the above estimation and suggestion, Christians are in danger
