During The American Revolutionary War, the state religion of Great Britain was Christianity?

British religious statistics are a historically rich and varied resource. In some countries, governments have historically collected statistics on the religion of its citizens. In Britian, this did not happen officially until 2001. Nevertheless, many important and valuable historical and contemporary sources exist. The earliest religious census was conducted as early as 1603. In 1851, a major religious census was carried out as part of the official Census.

The judgment: We have a religion (Christianity) that nobody believes.
Setanta chickened out before this judgment. You're fool-hardy enough to claim Contrex's wrong. But my general impression tells me that Contrex is more intelligent than you. Do you still have the nerve to fight on, Izzy?

2) Why has the actual population of Christians of Great Britain declined since the war so as to today nobody believes it in the country?

In the 2011 Census for England and Wales, 59.3% of the usual resident population (33.2 million people) identified as Christian. Muslims made up the second largest religious group with 4.8% of the population (2.7 million people). A quarter of the population (14.1 million people) reported they had no religion.

Contrex was having a laugh, he would never claim that there were no Christians in the UK. You don't understand our sense of humour as evidenced in one of your replies to McTag. If you're stupid enough to believe that there are no Christians in the UK, and that the American Revolution was all about Christianity your general impression doesn't count for much. This is what you said.

It seems this was based on a tongue in cheek comment by Contrex which shot right over your head. This is what the government census says.

Clearly 33.2 million is a lot bigger than nobody. Now if you continue to take jokes literally, it won't be long before you're the butt of them.

God gave the promised land to Americans. Can a loser thank God for depriving the land? What words of comfort has God given Great Britain? None. No wonder they've lost the passion of worship.

Wait, what? The United States is out to destroy christianity altogether, and has almost succeeded in the United Kingdom, and you're laughing? ! ? ! ?

It will be the end of civilization, and you're laughing . . . .

Do you think that I didn't know the statistical data before invoking Contrex?

Contrex sincerely pointed out that while most of Americans believe Christianity, there is no state religion in America. Can you feel the sincerity of his judgment?

he told us, in an almost serious manner, that there is a state religion in UK yet nobody believes, and this phenomenon really puzzled him.

There's no evidence of that, because what you said was fundamentally wrong, and if you knew it was wrong then you're a ******* idiot.

How did you invoke Contrex? By lighting a black candle and reciting the Lord's prayer backwards?

No, I honestly can't.

No it didn't. I don't know what's going on in your head, but you're misinterpreting pretty much everything that's being said. It's not even as if there's any ambiguity whatsoever.

You're going to continue to believe whatever mad horseshit pops into your head at the moment no matter what anyone says. You're so wide of the mark you're in Narnia.

This has been one of the most pointless arguments I've ever had and I'm not wasting any more time on it. Maybe you should log on to David Icke's website, he believes the Queen is a shape shifting lizard, but he makes more sense than you, and sounds a lot more rational.

So the Thirteen Colonies were taken away by God and given as promised land to the Americans.

Obviously it took God a bit longer to take the other parts of this promised land back from France and Spain.
