I have only ever met one friend in the UK who went to church, and one family member too, my Dad.
In all my years in England, I never had a conversation about the church, it was always something that was no longer important to British people, by and large.
As we all know in the UK, the influence of the church has continued to wane.

I see so many people go to church in Phils and I understand that it is still powerful there.
(I was amused to see condoms being sold in all the pharmacies there, though.)

If my wife ever wanted to go to church in the Phils or in the U.K., I would never stop her or ever say anything that would hurt her feelings on this issue.

I see so many comments on this forum with "God bless", "pray" or other things relating to religion.
I notice that it is almost always from Filipinas, which is understandable when you see how life is there.
oh my father in law i called him hypocrite go to church every sunday after church pub pissing himself and all magic words come up to his mouth
