UK: Muslims to Outnumber Traditional Churchgoers.....
Screwed....
The increasing influence of Islam on British culture is disclosed in research today that shows the number of Muslims worshipping at mosques in England and Wales will outstrip the numbers of Roman Catholics going to church in little more than a decade.
Projections to be published next month estimate that, if trends continue, the number of Catholic worshippers at Sunday Mass will fall to 679,000 by 2020.
By that time, statisticians predict, the number of Muslims praying in mosques on Fridays will have increased to 683,000.
The Christian Research figures also suggest that, over the same period, the number of Muslims at mosques will overtake Church of England members at Sunday services.

Well, considering that England has shrugged off it's Christian past a long time ago this is no surprise. Many pastors I know say that England is now so far post-Christian that it is pre-Christian.
You cannot defend your cultural values and beliefs if you have none, or consider them shameful or liquid at best.
A lesson for us, wouldn't you say?
