British people don't believe in God

Britain is not Holland. Britain is not as tolerant in terms of social issues. But, when it comes to religious worship, Britain has got the lowest level of worship in the world. British people have adopted a very rational and anti-Christian view of the world. Former communist nations, such as Russia, probably have a higher level of worship. If you watch the BBC, you will find a very anti-Christian, anti-religious approach. Recently, BBC world showed a program called 'Jesus Camp' about Evangelical Protestants in the USA. Needless to say, they were portrayed as fanatical 'fundamentalists'. Moreover, the Church of England is losing support every day, and Britain is the most secular nation in the world. Only 5% of the population follow the estabilished Church of England. Catholics may be doing a bit better, but not much better. Anyway, Britain is a nation of atheists where more than 50% of the population don't believe in any God. Hence the tolerance for Islam and Londonistan. In any other country- even in Holland- opposition to the Islamization of the country would attract a bigger support. A nation of atheists does not have any remedy against Militant Islam.
