I mean, I kind of had a Klassen reaction to this when I saw it earlier. Islam has not grown exponentially, which is good because if we keep it under control, the Muslim birth rate alone won’t flood out the true British. It is probably more important for European countries that Islam stays weak than that European religions strengthen.

Secularism grew and that seems like it is only more people being honest with themselves that they don’t really care about their nominal churches. The problem with the UK is they saw how close the BNP came to reaching the mainstream in the 2000s and are trying to annihilate any free expression once and for all. When I first considered identifying as secular during that period, one of the first consequences was I lost all guilt about expressing our ideas - but people still have to know the ideas to endorse them.
