"Although 81% of this group identified as Christian, just 13% attended church weekly, only slightly above the 11% average across the population surveyed. Less than a third (31%) prayed weekly, while 47% expressed an interest in the Bible.
The group was strongly hostile to immigration and Islam. Just 19% agreed that Christian values required welcoming and supporting asylum seekers, while 30% supported the equal treatment of religions in public life."

@wood5y@mastodonapp.uk I wouldn't disagree. These are no Christians. "...the findings suggest that Christianity is increasingly being invoked as a marker of British identity amid wider anxieties about immigration, Islam and cultural change."

@wood5y@mastodonapp.uk Ah, "Christians"... Well, can't be too mad at them. They may not be following the teachings of Christ, in word or in spirit, but they are living a full Bible-endorsed lifestyle!
