Religion is dying in Europe

[Altfish]

Wow wow wow wow wow....

Easy there. I think we have a huge misunderstanding here. They "say" [well guardian says..] that they have no religious affiliation. By no means does that mean that they don't have a religion or don't belong to church and especially that they don't believe in god.

So, the thread is about religion dying in Europe.
What do you understand 'No religious affiliation' means?

It means they don't have much to do with the church they belong to or don't feel themselves to be particularly religious.

So, that ties in with the title of this thread, which is..."RELIGION IS DYING IN EUROPE", not 'belief in God is dying in Europe'

I think your quote and part of the discussion has been misleading.

No. I think it was 'misleading'.

Don't get upset. I was just offering a view. No offence meant.

I'm not upset, if you can't understand a post, that's not my problem.

Especially Christianity...

"Europe’s march towards a post-Christian society has been starkly illustrated by research showing a majority of young people in a dozen countries do not follow a religion."

Maybe they will come back to christ when christ decides to come back.

Could have a long wait, then.

I heard something a while back (no sources to link to, sorry) that some smaller churches in the UK were only saved from being turned into housing, mosques, coffee shops or piles of rubble by an influx of people from places like Ghana and Gambia.

I think that could be very true, certainly the influx of people from Africa
