Is Christianity dead in the UK?

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Just asking what anyone else thinks but here's a view...

The Church of England is dying on it's feet, it's bishops and archbishops seem detached from real life, more concerned with playing politics, being bastions of wokism, than caring for their ever dwindling flock. I don't go to church but as far as I'm concerned I still live in a Christian country, and I have no desire to see that change, that's the way I like it.

Seemingly 52% of the Uk's population don't share your view mon ami.

I notice the big fat Elephant in the Room is still being hidden.

Racism in the Royal Family, speedos in the church, God needs to pop down and sort this $hit out.

Not really convinced that's relevant, our governments don't get much over 40% of the vote in any general election, they're still the legitimate, democratically elected government though.

You are kidding - right. About 70,000 old Tory buffers have elected three different Prime Ministers in the last three months. I do not call that democracy mon ami.

Don't get distracted by yet another dead cat, that's all this Jenkins Grauniad piece is, a distraction, there are far more concerning happenings beyond the smokescreen mon ami.

It is democracy as always has been though BT. Never having been a member of any political party I have never. in my years of eligibility to vote, been asked to vote for a Prime Minister.
Are you advocating that we do as the Americans do and vote for a President who, incidentally in the UK, does not exist? Perhaps a non-existent person or robot would do a better job.

Your woke churchmen have me rethinking my antidisestablishmentarianism.

It's hard to trust people who keep getting found how to be fiddling with your kids Robus.

The Church of England holds vast land wealth as does our Royal Family, perhaps it's time we all got back to basics and trusted our faith in a more Christian way of living.

Formalised religious ritual does have a community aspect - people coming together.

However, I would suggest that most formalised institutions like the Catholic Church, CofE and so on is about power and wealth. In the times of Jesus, He saw it in the Pharisees and the Sadducees. He decried them as “whited sepulchres”, corrupt on the inside. How true is that to this day in organised religion!

People may not identify themselves as Christian. However, they may be living very Christian lives without knowing it.
