Institutionally speaking, it’s a Christian country. The head of state has to be an Anglican and the heads of the Church of England automatically get a seat in the House of Lords etc. But in cultural terms, church attendance plummeted after lockdown and has never really recovered.

You are only Christian if you go to church.

Christians do not swear also.

Yeah ok then

To become a Christian, one must first accept the love of God and confess their sins. This acceptance is a personal decision that involves recognizing the need for a Savior and trusting in Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior. The journey of becoming a Christian is marked by faith, repentance, and a commitment to live out one's faith in daily life. It is not about attending church regularly or following certain traditions, but about having a personal relationship with God and reflecting His character in one's actions and words
Amen.

All the best on your journey.

Saying "we used to do it" when somebody points out something a country still does, is defending / deflecting from it.

As for not being well, not sure what to make of that from somebody who wants to be friends with child sex offenders. You after a career in politics?

We are there again
No it doesn’t
It’s to encourage us to recognise that Iran in the 70’s was a similar place to the uk but it’s not been long since we imprisoned and forced sterilisation on homosexuals leading to many suicides
It’s just to encourage humility rather than arrogance that’s all

That’s a pretty generous interpretation.

One could just as easily declare from that data that 70% do not believe in God/gods.

It’s from the national census. What’s the sample size on this?

Is it arrogant to point out that another country does that? I think it's more that some seem reluctant to accept it because it means their fight for the causes end up confused.

The census data also shows that the percentage of the population identifying as Christian is collapsing, and the number of people identifying as having no religion is surging even faster.



Would not be surprising at all if ‘No religion’ is the largest single group at the next census.

You think people are unaware that Iran murdered its citizens for protesting about its government?

To be fair when jd Vance says stupid stuff about how the uk is anti democratic you maybe have a point and simplicity is the answer

Iran is not democratic
Iran brutally represses disagreement
Iran has a Islamic cleric leading the country who’s opinions on women is abhorrent and leads to subjugating them and not allowing education

However there are more governments that are not democratic than democratic

And we are left with what makes Iran any different and the answer is penalty oil as most of the wars in the Middle East

You can argue the toss that they fund terrorism but we all know you cannot bomb an idea into non existence

Iran was not a danger to the USA fundamentally this is illegal.

We’ll see what happens but the end doesn’t justify the means it’s mad

The census data is 5 years old now. Sample there was 2000 people taken about 6 weeks ago.
