    I'm not following the link between the EU and religion here.

    Also, what is a Christian country?

    I'm talking about the UKs PRIMARY culture traditions and Religion.
    Why does every other country in the world outside the EU still hold on to these things?
    Why has it become taboo to keep our own.


    No country has one culture.

    Some countries pretend to and there is more conformity in some countries but the UK has many cultures.

    Even if you talk of a dominant culture that is location dependant. Its why so many Scots and English killed each other for hundreds of years. They saw each other as different and wanted the other side to adopt their culture

    Also culture changes over time. Go back a generation or two and we were chemically castrating war heros for being gey. Go back a generation or two before that and women couldn't vote and being beaten by their husband's was the accepted norm for a lot of them

    its like an Islamic country only the main religion is Christianity.

    Do you honestly not know the answer Joe?

    Religion in the United Kingdom and in the countries that preceded it has been dominated, for over 1,400 years, by various forms of Christianity. Religious affiliations of United Kingdom citizens are recorded by regular surveys, the four major ones being the UK Census, the Labour Force Survey, the British Social Attitudes survey and the European Social Survey. According to the 2011 UK census, Christianity is the major religion

    Within reason, you're allowed to practice pretty much any tradition* or religion you like in the UK. You don't seem to know much about geography or history. The former USSR heavily suppressed religion. As does China.

    as an example. My rent is £110 per week.
    An identical house in my close is rented out privately to someone unemployed for £1100 per month.
    Both rents are paid by the government.
    The local authority OWN my house yet the private house is having its mortgage paid for by the government.


    So why don't you push for the government to go to estate agents in town and buy a lot of houses from sellers and then rent them out via the council?

    Also try to actually think before you speak. What would be the result? Fast forward a few iterations.

    Like a lot of the older generation (assuming imhe is born 1952) he has forgotten that the people a generation or two above him had quite a different culture.

    I wonder what he thinks the UK culture was in 1900? And if he personally follows it and if not why not?
