You don’t think Christianity has been losing it’s grip on the population over the past few decades?
Most of the churches are empty. I can honestly say, in my lifetime, I haven’t met that many practicing Christians that took the religion very seriously either. It’s on its way out (and good riddance to it). Having clergy anywhere near power or politics is mind-boggling stupid to me – who are they supposed to be representing these days anyway?
As for Blighty being a theocracy – is it really? If that’s true it makes even less sense than having priests of a supposedly ‘all loving god’ bless people before they go off killing.
