Subject: RE: England's National Musical-Instrument?
When some older English people say present social problems are partly due to greatly reduced church attendence, do you believe them?

England is a very secular country. To increase church attendance you'll want to encourage a large amount of immigration from more religious parts of the world.

Personally I believe that society's difficulties are best addressed through communication, understanding and people feeling that they have a stake in their community. I don't believe these problems will be solved by alienating or forcing conformity upon minorities, nor do I believe that they'll be much affected by people sitting in a big old building singing songs once a week.
