By Imaan Ali,

London: New census data has been released in UK and it has some new facts:
-Islam is the fastest growing religion in UK
-Islam is the second largest religion after Christianity
-Indians are the largest ethnic minority
-Christianity is on rapid decline.

The census is held every 10 years in UK and the latest was conducted in 2011, whose results were made public this week. The facts are based on how people identify themselves in terms of religion and racial ethnicity. Although it is contested that not everyone may be what they identify themselves as especially when it comes to racial ethnicity.

The census was based on 56.07 million people, and 33.7 million people identified them as Christians, whereas the number of self-identifying Muslims rose to 2.7 million, that is a rise from 3% to 4.8% of the population in last 10 years.

The Muslim Council of Britain has welcomed the result, saying Muslims were playing “a significant part in the increasing diversity of Britain.”

Islam’s 2.7 million adherents make it the second-largest religion in England and Wales, far ahead of Hinduism (817,000), Sikhism (423,000), Buddhism (248,000) and Judaism (263,000). The other fringe religions are pagan, pantheist, wiccan, satanist, druid, “Jedi Knight” and others.

This comes after the latest U.S. Religion Census that was released on May 1, 2012, which also found Islam as the fastest growing religion in America. The data for the census was compiled by the Association of Statisticians of American Religious Bodies, and the results were released by the Association of Religion Data Archives. From the year 2000 to the year 2010, the census found that the number of Muslims living inside the United States increased by about 1 million to 2.6 million – a stunning increase of 66.7 percent.

Thus Islam is the fastest growing religion in both US and UK according to the latest census reports announced this year. No wonder Barack Obama had recently said ’we are no longer a Christian country’. He wasn’t much off the mark.

The biggest surprise of UK census was the phenomenal increase of people who said they do not follow any religion and they increased from 7.7 million to 14.4 million almost doubling in last decade, which means more then quarter of people identify themselves as adhering to no religion. The assumption is that majority of these people identified earlier as Christians. This resulted in decrease in Christian’s population from 7r% to 59% in last decade alone.

In the U.S., by contrast, a 2007 Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life survey found 16.1 percent of respondents identified as “unaffiliated” with any particular religion.

Major Christian denomination put up a brave face saying that most of the people who identified as Christians are practising one rather than the ones who associate themselves as ‘cultural christians’.
The results of the UK 2011 census released this week apply to England and Wales only. Separate data from Scotland will be published shortly.

Start by castrating the whore Tony Blair for being a good puppet and flooding his nation with these Muslim immigrants. 500,000 (Not all Muslims of course) per year!!

Heads need to roll and the "Crusaders" need to push these Muslims into the Channel.

I just finished a book about this very subject. It talks about how Christianity is becoming somewhat of a punch line as people get "smarter" and fall away from religion. Thus, there is a vaccum that needs to be filled, and Islam is the "new" thing. That's oversimplifying it, but I believe it to be true. Also, with how people are afraid to mock Allah or Muhammad, because of fear of being killed, but it's nothing to see Jesus being made fun of on SNL. I am not religious, but see the value in Christianity during these times.

Islam is forced in the family, not a choice for individuals.

According to Sigmund Freud religion is an illusion based on a mass delusion; one big mental disease.

Where the individual tries to deal with their neurosis by replacing them by a single mass psychosis.

So according to the father of modern psychology all these people are mentally diseased psychotics.

"I have found little that is "good" about human beings on the whole. In my experience most of them are trash, no matter whether they publicly subscribe to this or that ethical doctrine or to none at all. That is something that you cannot say aloud, or perhaps even think."

Psychology, except for behavioral/experimental, is all garbage. And this is from someone who went to college and has a degree in psych.
