Britain is still seen as a Christian country.

A study by Pew Research that was done in 2010 which also predicted percentages in 2050 looked like this:

Christians: 2010: 64%, 2050: 45%

Muslims: 2010: 5%, 2050: 11%

Hindus: 2010: 1.4%, 2050: 2%

Jews: 2010: 0.5%, 2050: 0.3%

Buddhists: 2010: 0.4%, 2050: 0.9%

Folk religions: 2010: 0.1%, 2050: 0.3%

No religion: 2010: 28%, 2050: 39%

'According to the last census, Islam has some 2,000 followers in Slovakia, Reuters reported, adding that there are no recognized mosques in the central European country. '

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.

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

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.

There is a difference between this and the constant comments here or elsewhere that puts down anyone who wants to believe in a religion.

Also, there are numerous reasons for ISIS..it isn't just as simple as "Oh. They are religious, that's why", but that's a whole other topic.

You are acting like any religious group of people go around doing this. It's not black and white or that simple.

Hell, Let's take a look at another extremist group in Hezbollah that is labelled a terrorist organisation by many of the western world, but is one of the biggest fighters against the ISIS force.

Spoiler:

Muslim fighters/extremists/terrorists/whatever freeing Christian villages and saving their places of worship and Women that aren't covered all in black waving their flag and looking....happy... what the?

This..............I have my belief which comforts me but a little prayer before bed is all I want to do, I don't feel the need to go to church or shout at at anyone who doesn't agree with me, my belief is my business as long as I don't harm anyone., others disbelief is their business too.
