That's why I said in my post it was 2010! 2010 predictions to 2050

I reckon their predictions are way out

oh for christ sake....**** me.

So people have to prove this and that to get state benifits..


well its about time these gobbledook rligious nutters started proving god is real or whoever the stupid name is that they worship.

only fair.

Maybe so but its the closest predictions I could find.

I do too, i think 50-60% will be non-religious in 2050

Hopefully

Where did you hear there are?

Religion should be abolished right across the world. No place in this world for such nonsense

I agree in a sense though where religion does give comfort it is hard to take that from people who need it. However I think that religion should be governed strictly by the other rules of society, particularly regarding discrimination and religious uniforms. It should have no official place in society, politics or education. It should only be allowed to be taught where a balanced view is given.

Lol at telling anyone what they should or shouldn't believe in. Atheist shouters sound as bad as the religion nutters. Leave people to believe and practice what they want to as long as it causes you no harm.

Make every believe in Buddhism

Agreed

:clap2: live and let live.

I just think it should be seperate from state and education

God is great and powerful.

But he always seems to be short of a bob or two. Forever on the bleeding scrounge.

You say this but you know... ISIS

Because it implies that the majority of Muslims are the "stereotypical tabloid muslim" which is, simply, false. The vast majority of Muslims don't "oppress their women and girls" any more than any other group. That's pretty much standard in the definition of racism, isn't it? Believing negative stereotypes?

Secondly it all plays into the hysteria that "so many Muslims are pouring in!!!" that it's in any way likely to significantly alter the status quo of the whole country. Which is just nonsensical. Especially when - as I said - the fastest growing group is in fact the non-religious.

Thirdly, the worrying trend recently for backwards thinking, and the very real resurgence in active fascism in countries much closer to home, IS an active and ongoing threat to "our values and way of life" but no one seems to care. Too distracted by the scary brown people, I suppose.

Nobody should be allowed to have faith in a higher being because ISIS. Makes sense.

ISIS is about because of religion

:clap1: :clap1:

Maybe that could work if those people believing and practicing what they want weren't going round threatening to kill all 'non-believers' and in their own country. The arrogance of such people is astounding.

Their attitude is harmful, maybe not to you as a man, but to Muslim and non-Muslim women alike. Any religion with such beliefs cannot be allowed to prosper in the West.

So?.. your problem should be with ISIS, not with religion. You should be able to separate the two things, literally everybody else can.

Religous doctrine created ISIS. It allowed/encouraged men to interpret its religous views of 'female modesty' in such a way as to make it accepable to imprison and control them to achieve it. Religous doctrine sowed that seed in my opinion.

The bible also tells people to kill

This isnt relevant to the point anybody was making..

but since you brought it up, do you think the worst thing about ISIS is their treatment of females?
