A Catholic bishop from England says that:
"[B]efore the end of this decade Christianity – once the faith of the great majority of British people – will become the faith of a significant minority. If most English people no longer identify themselves as Christians it will surely be one of the most momentous changes in our history since missionaries sent by Pope Gregory arrived on the coast of Kent in the year 597 AD."
He thinks that's not all bad, because it will tend to have a purifying effect on the church. Sure. But , as Rod Dreher says:
"I see what he’s getting at, but [it's] like finding something positive to say about the firebombing of Dresden because it hastened urban renewal."
