Readers reacted to the news that the number of Christians has fallen dramatically. 'Religion is not important, we all bleed red'; 'You don’t need religion to be a good person'; 'This country is just falling apart' were among the comments. Have your say:
Data from the latest census has revealed that the proportion of people describing themselves as Christians has dropped dramatically.
LancsLive's readers reacted to the news. Many said not being religious did not mean a person had no beliefs. One said: "Doesn’t mean they aren’t spiritual. You can be spiritual and not class yourself as religious - You don’t need religion to be a good person." "They will be recorded as Christian regardless of thought, adherence, or effort. A great many consider themselves Christian and may indeed attend church beyond the big three events."Just not well defined. I would never deny that comfort can be found merely in the name. I welcome this statistic as it may reflect a new number who give it a bit of thought."
