The summary of poll is therefore as follows: Britons do not believe in God. They do not agree that their god was one true god. They refuse to accept that believe in God makes one a better person. They doubt that God created universe. And finally they would not want to do anything with religion.

Exactly when Britons became unbelievers, we do not know. But we do know that Great Britain had her fingers in ungodly things throughout her history—from crusades to inquisition, and Thirty Years’ War, and two world wars. As for total number of deaths in all these unholy acts—whether speared to death or roasted with their Bibles tied to their chests—only God knows.

Not that wars and mass murder of people have ceased. Rather they have escalated. And in almost all recent conflicts, be it in Bosnia or Rwanda, religion is to blame. There appears to be no exit strategy for man. Yet, world claims to be religious.

Perhaps Britain is right in saying to dump religion. People in America and Europe are loosing faith in God and are waving goodbyes to churches, which are fast being converted to restaurants and disco centers. According to one report, “the great cathedrals of Europe [serve] not as houses of worship but as museums, empty of all tourists.”

The same could be true where you live. Or it could be that your people are religious but crime, violence, and wickedness are on increase. Where then is your godliness? And why do you single out Queen Elizabeth’s kingdom?

So, hear me Great Britain: Take heart. It is a godless world!

You may say you cannot do anything. That is a lie from devil. You can do something. As a member of body of Christ, it is your duty to help other parts grow, so that whole body is healthy (Ephesians 4:16).

A large part of living an abundant and prosperous Christian life is simply giving. "Give what?" you may ask. Give money. Give food. Give love. Give encouragement. Give away your old clothes. Give away some new ones. Give smiles, hand shakes, and hugs. These things mean a lot! Especially if people who come into your local church do not experience this kind of love anywhere else.

You are extremely important in body of Christ and we need you! Just like individual parts of our physical bodies must be connected to whole body to fulfill their roles, so you must be connected to body of Christ to function as an effective and prospering Christian. Proverbs 27:17 says, "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."

If Satan can get you unplugged from fellowship with fellow believers and isolate you from God's family, you become perfect breeding ground for all kinds of negative circumstances to arise in your life.

Let God bless you by making you a blessing. Commit to your local church and to fellowship. Stay plugged in! The brightest light in world will not shine unless it's plugged in.
