An article in today’s Guardian reminds us of what we already know: that more people under 40 in England and Wales now declare “no religion” than profess to be Christian. The census findings also reveal that more than 50% of twentysomethings are not religious, compared with under 37% a decade ago. We are still nominally a ‘Christian country’, with schools obliged to provide “broadly Christian” daily worship, but for how much longer? I look forward to the day when the deliberations of the Archbishop of Canterbury receive no more attention than the drunken ramblings of some guy at the far end of the bar.
I kipped in the car, last Friday, next to Crowland Abbey...
