    As a white boy deep in the south region of the US where evangelical Christian is the only Christianity I suggest to you, as a person who has lived in this shithole, that my brothers and sisters in Great Britain nuke this shit from orbit and pour gasoline on the smoking embers. We thought this would not happen here but we let the fucking nuts congregate and feed off each other. It all started when Eisenhower let Billy Graham in the White House because, " what can a little prayer breakfast hurt?" And no one said a thing because why offend " good Christian" people. Stop it now while the chickens are still in the hen house.

      i’m fascinated by the how and why of the fall of christianity in the UK after the 2nd world war. btw the war itself probably contributed but the collapse was steady over the 30 years after it

      so the uk is already reacting to the new religious groups like islam and the evangelican african churches and these new idiots will be dealt with in a similar fashion

      we are scientist atheists that must protect our democracy and that is not going to change

      Can not upvote this enough. This man speaks the truth, and reason. He is not crazy. I’ve had a similar experience, and if anything, I think this isn’t raising the warning flag high enough for what could happen in the UK here.
