Could be wrong on this, but I think the C of E membership in the UK is now less than the number of people who've bought Sgt. Pepper.

I personally think that religion's obstructive; I don't mind people believing in God, but Christianity is not your beliefs, they're someone else's that a) have been forced/ingrained into you, b) that you're adopting out of fear of going to hell, or somesuch, or c) because everyone else seems to believe, and you're too lazy to come to your own conclusions.
This doesn't mean I'd smash down every church in the land a la Stalin if I got into power, though. Until they become lawbreaking, Churches aren't particularly anything to be reviled.

Has anyone actually studied the evidence for the resurrection ? Much of it it takes for granted that the New Testament is genuine, but it is so compelling if you look into it.
If you think the NT is not genuine, then bear in mind that there is far more documentary evidence for it than for Caesar's Gallic Wars, and few would deny that Caesar hurled his armies at a bulwark fortified by nature and men, in about 55BC from memory.

Yeah, I think people are waking up nowadays and starting to think for themselves.
Man shoulda made it something more convincing, like the sun. Not some invisible thing lol.
Religion is useful but I don't think its true. When I say useful, I mean like criminals who turn to "God" and start doing good.
A lot aren't even closet atheists, its just most people wont talk about it.
