A new analysis of the 2011 census shows that a decade of mass immigration helped mask the scale of decline in Christian affiliation among the British-born population – while driving a dramatic increase in Islam, particularly among the young.

It suggests that only a minority of people will describe themselves as Christians within the next decade, for first time.

Meanwhile almost one in 10 under 25s in Britain is now a Muslim.

The proportion of young people who describe themselves as even nominal Christians has dropped below half for the first time.

Initial results from the 2011 census published last year showed that the total number of people in England and Wales who described themselves as Christian fell by 4.1 million – a decline of 10 per cent.

  1. Christianity civilised Europe and Britain and made the West what it is. If people abandon Christianity, it will be replaced by barbarism. It remains to be seen which kind of barbarism. It could be our own traditional one, or an imported one from the deserts.

  2. And the Telegraph has disabled the comments on this story. Also on their piece about the Oxford Muslim Jihad Rape Gang Torturers. I wonder why? Afraid what people might say?

  3. I think I’m correct in saying that although the percentage of muslims in the UK is just under 5%, the number of muslim males aged 18-35 is nearly equal to the number of non-muslim males aged 18-35 (which is declining).

    This is the age bracket of men who fight wars. ‘Nuff said.

    But the article said, 1 in 10 UNDER 25.

    Nevertheless, we should resort to asymmetric warfare. Legalize euthanasia, and be creative.

  5. Muslim migrants are living in a society which is institutionally racist. Brits must learn to respect and tolerate those who are different.Children should be taught about living religions so that they could learn to respect and tolerate those who are in their schools or who live near their own homes.

    Multiculturalism is not about integration but about cultural plurality. It is not about separation but about respect and the deepening awareness of Unity in Diversity. Each culture will maintain its own intrinsic value and at the same time would be expected to contribute to the benefit of the whole society. Multiculturalism can accommodate diversity of all kinds – cultural, philosophical and religious – so that we can create a world without conflict and strife. Britain can assume the role of accommodation and concern for all peoples, for our planet and indeed for our survival. Multi-culturalism is even more important and crucial after 9/11 and 7/7. Muslim youths are also likely to feel alienated by a focus on shared Brutishness, rather than multicultural diversity. Rather than promoting a single British “us” teaching should acknowledge that “us” can be diverse and plural. Children should be encouraged to explore differences in appearance, history and religion to reduce social and educational fears.

    Islam is the fastest growing faith in Britain. Hundreds and thousands of Brits are reverting to Islam. By the middle of this century, over half of Brits would be Muslims.

    “I have always held the religion of Muhammad in high estimation because of
    its wonderful vitality. It is the only religion which appears to me to
    possess that assimilating capacity to the changing phase of existence which
    can make itself appeal to every age. I have studied him – the wonderful man
    and in my opinion for from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the
    Saviour of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the
    dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems
    in a way that would bring it the much
    needed peace and happiness: I have prophesied about the faith of Muhammad
    that it would be acceptable to the Europe of tomorrow as it is beginning to
    be acceptable to the Europe of today.” [G.B. Shaw, THE GENUINE ISLAM, Vol.
    1, No. 81936.]

  6. Of course, iftikhara (the muslim posting here) would refer to GB Shaw, who not only admired islam but who also believed in genocide by poison gas. The fascist left like Shaw also supported Mussolini, Hitler and Stalin; so they approved of islam. It was Churchill who despised islam (seeing it as a form of rabies), and who took on the Nazis (who were aided by the Muslim Brotherhood and the Bosnian SS, so beloved by British islamo-nazis today).

    It wasn’t christianity that stood up to islam in the Middle Ages. It was the “barbaric” europeans. I have no doubt that all religions are being seen as toxic in Britain, as the religiosity which most of us seen on a daily basis is islam. I don’t even have time for buddhists any more, as they will never stand up to islamic fascism.

    Whilst 11% of the British public have left christianity (which in its British incarnation welcomes sharia law), that 11% have notably not converted to islam. They have abandoned religion rather than be associated with the christian scum who suck up to islamic fascism.

  7. Have you ever heard the expression when in Rome do as the Romans do, iftikhara? It’s not for the British, or anyone else, to adapt in order to accommodate Islam, but for Muslim immigrants to learn to live by our rules. If you don’t like them then you’re perfectly free to go elsewhere, but while you’re in Britain you have to accept our way of doing things.

    One of those ways is our custom to speak our minds, even on issues that you might find offensive. So if I think that Mohammed was a mass murdering paedophile who raped his nine year old “wife”, then I will say so and I couldn’t much care how offended you are. If you bring your slaves to our country then they are free according to our laws, and I will insist that they need no longer walk around in black tents several paces behind their former owners but can now enjoy the liberties that we in the West enjoy.

    I can understand that Islam has a certain appeal among the criminal classes, which is why so many retards are found in prison. A cult designed specifically for bully boys is bound to appeal to those who are themselves bullies. Any normal, intelligent person could see through Islam’s flaws in about five seconds, so they would have no reason at all to retard to Islam. I use the word retard because one would have to be seriously retarded to believe in Islam.

    It is Islam, not the rest of the world, that needs to learn to respect and tolerate other cultures, but I see no sign of that happening in the foreseeable future. Instead Islam continues along its historical path of aiming to subjugate the whole world, and impose Islamic rule. Islam’s idea of a world without conflict and strife is one where all the dhimmis meekly pay the jizya with willing submission, not one where free people live as equals. I have news for you iftikhara; some of us will never submit to that. We will fight to the death rather than live under sharia law, because death is always a better option than slavery and Islam is slavery.

  8. We have been seeing Buddhists stand up to Islamic fascism in Asia (from Burma to Sri Lanka), so much so the MSM is portraying them as bad and the Muslims(as usual) as victims.
