Indeed, which is the point I was making, that we effectively live in one of the most secular countries in the world despite having an established church says something about the British attitude toward organised religion both generally and historically.
Why is the UK not religious anymore?

its not that people arent religious anymore, its just that hundreds of years ago admitting to not being holy or repenting kind of got you in the poo. I imagine many scientific minded people throughout many thousands of years couldn't speak out for fear of theirs and their families persecution.
imagine that. 1. all those people like us sitting there with WTF faces watching barmey religious ceremonies and witchcraft 2. the brave people who slowly turned the tide against religion in the pursuit of science who also probably faced persecution and in some backwards countries still do to this day

Ha, explain to me why it is a bad thing to be close minded on this topic? It doesn't mean I'm close minded in other areas of my life. It doesn't mean I'm not going to stand up for whats right or make the wrong votes where it counts.
Why should religion interest me personally? I don't think you understand what I meant.
Back on topic:
I think the uk is less religious because it serves less function in our country than it used to. Therefore there is no reason for a young adult to consider joining a religion.

Film a church service as part of a reality TV show? Make sure there's terrible singing, stupid bimbos that walk around half naked causing superficial drama. Create superficial drama.
Give them all record deals afterwards and stick them in Heat magazine with a lot of OMG headlines.
Just an idea.
