The leader of Britain’s Jewish community claimed the continent’s population is in decline because people care more about shopping than the sacrifice involved in parenthood.
He blamed atheist “neo-Darwinians” for Europe’s low birth rate and said religious people of all denominations are more likely to have large families.
The Chief Rabbi, who entered the House of Lords last week, made his comments in a lecture on religion in the 21st century hosted by Theos, the public theology think-tank, on Wednesday night....
"“Europe, at least the indigenous population of Europe, is dying.” “That is one of the unsayable truths of our time. We are undergoing the moral equivalent of climate change and no one is talking about it."
I like this statement of Sachs.
But I think one of the big reasons for the decline in children in the UK, is that the stupid politicians have over-taxed the family out of existence.
Today there is no "family" mind set especially in the upper echelons of UK society where the rich and middle class mammon worshippers look for other ways to spend their earnings.
As for "religious" groups breeding a future generation, the majority of UK Christians are very much people of today and are just as concerned with middle class money matters as their secular counterparts are.
