May 24: Bad News For The Church of England

Decline of Religion
....and other religions in England.

The findings of the 2014 British Social Attitudes on Religion have been released and it's bad news for the Established Church of England.

Religious affiliation:

No religion 50%
Church of England/Anglican 20%
Christian – no denomination 9%
Christian – specific denomination 6%
Roman Catholic 9%
Non-Christian 6%

56% of those who actually do affiliate with a religion, or were brought up in a religion, never attend religious services or meetings.

Yet still the privileged position of the Established Church continues, still the Monarch remains the "Defender of the Faith" and still the C of E gets automatic seats in the House of Lords.

20% of the population getting a free ride. What an amazing set up!

Above us only sky...

The glory of the 'heavens' above us are real, their starry splendour is visible to those who look up; but the glory of 'Heaven' is a sad delusion of human minds.
