51% of those who participated in the Scottish census say they do not follow any religion. That’s up 14% since the last one.
The COE must really be struggling as nobody identifies as English in the ethnicity section..oh wait, that wasn’t an option!

"White - Other British" includes England.
CofE would be the Episcopal church.
Glad to help.

Other British is not a nationality.
The options in this botched up cocked up late census were loaded.

Anybody that doesn’t recognise that religion is a large part of the worlds political issues regarding war/race/LGBTQ etc is living under a rock.
The sooner more people become atheist non believers the world will become a much better place.
Just my opinion mind you……

Actually, you`re right and wrong at the same time, Dave. 🤔
I think all the main world religions stipulate love and tolerance of others. Where it all goes pear shaped is the way that some fanatical zealots apply their own warped interpretations to their religions to justify acts which no religion condones.
A couple of examples.
Do you think religion is to blame for Russia`s invasion of Ukraine?
And how about Israel`s destruction of Gaza? Isn`t one of the Ten Commandments "Thou shalt not kill"?
Not your average Sunday League player.

The Old Testament provides a number of examples of people killing with God`s explicit blessing. In fact, most of the times he Commands them!

A pretend imaginary cup is on the table but people believe in there is one. Those people pour water into non existent cup and soak the table because there is no cup on the table. Shocked and stunned said daftys mutter some nonsense about faith and declare the water is actually in the cup and not dripping onto the floor - they refuse to believe otherwise despite their clothing and shoes being wet.
Without fail I think less of people who declare themselves to be religious. It’s a (barely) unconscious bias and I try to work on it as people should believe what they want. I just think they are incredibly stupid and therefore not to be relied upon

Some of the smartest people I know have faith. It`s definitely not about intelligence.
Religious faith could even be the most human characteristic of all, in the sense that there`s no human society that I`m aware of that hasn`t had some form of religious or spiritual tradition. There`s not much about human culture that`s as ubiquitous as belief.

The problem I have is people confusing religious values with British/Scottish/English ones. Most of the people talking about these traditions haven`t been in church for decades yet still think Britain should be like an Enid Blyton novel. Same applies to our Celtic/Rangers supporting pals. Hate each other because of religion yet don`t go to church. Laughable.

Seriously, that is up there with the most ignorant posts ever on this forum.
I`m sure you amused yourself with it though.

My view is that faith has no place in conversation about truth.
Truth is, by definition, not the place for belief.

You`ve just given a perfect example of what I meant: you have misused the concept of "truth" there, and what you describe already has a very good word - "faith."

It seems there are 2 separate questions - whether something is literally true, and whether it is useful.
So if I decide to give up crack cocaine for Lent, then that’s probably a good idea. And it’d be a good idea whether or not Jesus literally spent 40 days and nights in the desert.
