To me, it is Christians who put me off the religion in the first place. The hypocrisy is rife where many of who judge others, even though the Bible says only God can. "Love thy neighbour", well these days, i've noticed this comes with a list of exceptions typically including those who have differences in sexuality and gender conflictions, or they are from any other creed or religion. Christians often state they want the right to religious freedoms, which often goes on the lines of telling people how to live their lives.secular
2,000 years ago, mankind wallowed in the most abysmal ignorance about the nature of the universe, and everyone was religious. Many still are, most of them living, and dying prematurely, in parts of the world that still wallow in the same abysmal ignorance. The most zealous among them have taken to killing those who don't share their faith. Elsewhere, as science discovers more and more about the laws that govern the natural world, the number of people who still call themselves religious is in free fall. I wonder why.JayReply tosecular
2000 years ago mankind had reached a level of scientific and mathematical sophistication that it took 1200 years after the fall of the Roman Empire to regain, principally from texts preserved and studied in the libraries of Europe's monasteries. You'd obviously struggle to get an F in a basic history exam, yet you have the hubris to lecture others? Arrogance and ignorance make such comfortable bed-fellows, as is so aptly demonstrated by your comments.Alex

All the Atheists I know are not vocal about their lack of believe whereas the Christians love to mention God regularly to us in passing conversations.mike996
Religion has no place in an enlightened world. This report just shows that people are realising this. There will always be the religious zealots, but the advancement of scientific knowledge will continue to marginalise them.RogerReply tomike996
Absolutely, I mean we could certainly do without the great social advances brought about by William Wilberforce, Emily Pankhurst, the Cadbury brothers, Joseph Rowntree nd many more. After all what ever did their faith do for us...........The enlightened world came about because of people like them and because of their faith not in spite of it.Trucking EU
When the world and his brother are invited to Britain Christianity will be overtaken as we see now. BREXIT!hillwalker1113
religion served a purpose of explaining the unexplainable, we have science for that now,hillwalker1113Reply tohillwalker1113
so youre saying science proves the earth was made in 7 days, man doesnt come from evolution, a flood can cover the whole world the list goes on, and i dont want to think of how genetically deficient we would be if we all sprouted from a single pair of people.
