The Guardian reports:
Every year, researchers from the British Social Attitudes survey ask a representative sample of British people whether they regard themselves as belonging to any particular religion and, if so, to which one? […] In the latest 2010 BSA report, published earlier this month, only 42% said they were Christians while 51% now say they have no religion. […] This Christmas, for perhaps the first time ever, Britain is a majority non-religious nation.
We will see even more pronounced decline of sectarianism in the world in future. It is absolutely inescapable. And after true religious quality will become immanent in culture, the very word “religion” in the plural will sound anachronistic.
