faith thrives in a modern world

In the previous episode we saw the comparison between the high religiosity in england, nearly 2/3 to the higher religiosity in u.s.
the irony is shocking that after the whole irish issue between catholics and anglicans... each side did not say "we have such an ugly past we should leave religion" instead 59% of england, for more than half nearing 2/3 is christian. england has "NOT wearied" of christianity.
anyway this generation is LONG AFTER the "appalling history of interfaith violence" so that does not affect people's decision to join a church or exit. instead the more PROXIMAL cause is churches teach as i heard in a preaching, not to kiss before wedding matching the famous phrase "you may NOW kiss the bride" at each wedding and also taught in church besides weddings but the APPALLING looseness and promiscuity is the real reason people announce their suppression of theit faith to "get some."
even those religious wars by the catholic pope were in the form of war, azaries battling like the first segment of the 30 year war religion was only part of the issue and time. it would be a lie to describe it as "house to house murder the heretic systematically". nor the cowardly bully lining up the weak unarmed and mass murdering but in the form of war which is different and each side was confident in their justice.
another irony is that the anglican church is failing to attract new comers. we would EXPECT marketing that sells personal computers whether mac or microsft, would also "sell" anglican christianity? but the problem with the comparison is that sales the buyer holds his purchase so that does not work for faith in either part of the sale.
i mean the buyer gave money and gets the p.c. as above but in religion the buyer gets no item nor is payng for any item so the comparison "what works for soap flakes" on page 62 is just a mindless mocking by the hate filled dawkins who was so filled with hate he could not distinguish. 
even tithes are not in exchange for anything because the salvation of the church does not depend on buying it. we can get salvation by grace but want to obey the tithes and offerings to the one who HELPED us earn our money.
my point is marketing would not attract people anyeeway so anglican does not put effort into convincing nor proseltyzing and DESPITE the history of ugly violence and lack of advertising still 59% of england chooses christian despite the absence of inquisition threat and of advertising and despite temptation of ludity and the very visible rows of various condoms in every pharmacy.
the fact is most american immigrants were FLEEING the european organized religion... not to escape to ludity but to get FREEDOM OF WORSHIP to do their own faith rather than the orgaznized religion.
obviously christianty has MORE BRANCHES from its root than the one official church in each country so more christians from each of various branches fled to america from england like the thanksgiving story and other similar stories amish puritan and more fleeing the organized religion but not to ludity but to their own interpretation of christianity.
that caused the larger population of christians in u.s. not any "soap flake" advertising by flaky dawkins.
they came to america as "groups" of puritans and amish etc and the hate filling dawkins caused another "blind spot" despite the same page of "catholic and protestants alternately gaining power and suppressing the othere" he did not notice the lack of "comfort and stability" in england whose "loss" led then to join the american church... literally alternate history because they lacked stability and did not lose it and brought their faith with them. i mean we dont have millions of atheists flooding to u.s. and joining a church due to loneliness. that alteranate history was impossible due to the unpopularity od the bizarre oddity called atheism.
instead christians poured to the land of opportunity and made churches to CONTINUE their faith not join the native american church.
despite the element of community that does not attract people to join a church if they don't agree with the faith.
they can do "the sunday drive" in the beatles song on sunday instead a boring lecture where you CANT TALK during service nor preaching anyway. that is not sociial interaction.
the u.s. constitution specified NOT TO LIMIT worship which PROTECTED religion that document is FAR from a "secular constitution" but a VERY PRO-pro-religion document ENSURING each of various faiths from "a is for amish to catholic to jew to protestant" and from simple amish no zipper to the cleverly named "electric church" associating high tec and "I.T." modernity. really? yes! it is a  real branch on the list.
the u.s. government HAS chaplains in the executive branch but separate from policy so the "non-anglican get bullied to pay a tax" to the state church or jizya tax to islam gets prevented.
the only ads i saw for christianity were the "dancing nuns" joyously skipping along a tree lined path WISHING me a merry christmas.
the churches are not "competing" for followers because in another blind spot... joining a church leads to GIVING offerings... not paying to GET anything. 
the only one using "aggressive hard sell technique" is dawkins using the association marketing trick, which could work if he had not ruined the claims as i showed in previous mytakes about association that is a marketing method.
not the calm submissive church goers are mania nor even the exciting televangelists but these repeated blind spots show that the agnostics are in a frenzied panic to suppress their faith pumpin out shallow comedy mocking... that is the mania.
the condescension calling christians "uneducated" page 62 is far from accurate as if zero college proffesors are christian. 
that claim of dawkins could be aimed at accuratley it muslim countries but in the west where education is guaranteed [besides my own spelling] almost everyone is well educated and heard abouyt evolution from a single cell bacteria to branches of animaks and concluded that is TOO HARD TO BELIEVE the MORE plasible explanation is some creator created verious animals.
we are aware, we write the atheist faith on school exams but we all know what is more plausible and THAT is the cause for 59% of england is christian and more than that percentage of a larger population in u.s.
