Bravo.

What's more any drop in the number of people of orthodox religions attending church or synagogue or mosque, is no indicator of any reduction in the numbers of people who have beliefs or faith.

That's like saying that there are more people who do not drink alcohol now because the numbers of people visiting pubs and clubs have dropped.

Perhaps it's just that people continue to drink just as before but at home watching TV or having friends round because they no longer see the need or have the desire to go out to enjoy a drink.

I firmly believe in God and Jesus as the Christ, but I don't feel the need to go to any church, and I'd bet there are millions of people who believe in something who don't feel the need to either.
