The UK Right-Wing parties are going hard today on how the UK is a Christian country. The thing is we're actually an A-Religious country. 30% say they have no religion when asked. 30% were brought up in a faith but haven't though about it since they were 10. 20% know what to do in a place of worship, but only ever go for weddings and funerals. Which leaves 10% who are just getting old.

It's not that we're Atheist. We're A-Religious. We're simply not interested and don't care.

@jbond in my exp, a lotta yt British ppl call themselves Christian but have no affinity w Christianity & no familiarity w religious texts & contemporary belief. like, i was brought up CofE by my mom, who only ever went church for midnight mass & did not share Christian values. like, the most she got in contact w the church outside yearly is when i was questioning my developing religious connections to witchcraft, when she asked the vicar to come rid me of it. but the Baptists, Methodists, Sikhs, Muslims & Roman Catholics in my area r far more on their worship than the CofE folks ik & it's beautiful seeing ppl dressed in their best on a Sunday come shop & share meals & stuff yk? & it just says a lot abt these fuckers chatting from a yt perspective ig, bc yea statistically, the UK isnt super Christian, but theres still so many ppl of faith around who care so deeply abt their worship, & its erasing those ppls faith bc sooo many ppl care so much abt their connections w it
