Britain is still a Christian country according to most Brits
https://premierchristian.news/en/news/ar...most-brits

INTRO: Despite a national decline in religious observance, most Brits continue to see Britain as a Christian country, a new study has found. YouGov found that while most British people celebrate Easter and Christmas, the majority do so in a secular way. In addition, religiousness was found to be very low, with over half of Britons (55 per cent) saying they are not a member of any religion.

Interestingly, however, most Brits continue to assert that they live in a Christian country - according to the study, 56 per cent of Britons hold this view, along with seven in ten (69 per cent) of British Christians, as well as half of non-Christians (47 per cent) and of those who are not religious (49 per cent). One in four Britons (28 per cent) say Britain is not a Christian country, while 16 per cent say they don’t know.

Older Britons are more likely to see Britain as a Christian country, with 53 per cent of those aged 25-39, 59 per cent of those in their 40s and 50s, and 61 per cent of those aged 60 and above holding that view. Amongst younger citizens, the number drops - 41 per cent say it is a Christian country, whilst 39 per cent say it isn’t. There is also a universal agreement that both Christmas and Easter should remain as national public holidays - a view held by those who are both religious and non-religious... (MORE)

The special, which aired last week, saw "amateur actors" present their take on the Nativity story - with some branding it "an insult to the Christian religion" and "offensive."

The Beeb's synopsis ahead of the air date told that "the angel Gabriel develops a firework obsession, a donkey-actor argument resulted in unnecessary nudity, and there is way too much fire." And while the BBC did not publish the nature of the complaints when addressing the backlash, the broadcaster stood by the show... (MORE)

The Goes Wrong Show Christmas Special 2020

Cynical Sindee: Via its super-sensitivities, has Woke call-out culture suddenly, unexpectedly started speaking for and defending the Christian population group? For years, I've seen American programming parody Christmas worse than this. "The Goes Wrong Show" seems to inherently be about stage productions that go haywire, and that's what it's actually poking fun at here. Not Christmas itself (which is of hybrid pagan origin, anyway, rather than Abrahamic).

While the woke left is certainly always thirsty for new targets of outrage, perhaps it's just that those on the right have finally seen how effective outrage can be...and now it becomes mutually assured destruction, where both parties fire their nukes.
