    Is religion making a comeback? I was not aware it ever went anywhere. It's always been ticking away in its various forms for 90% of the world's population. Doubtless it will continue to do so until the human race finally succumbs to a virus or is wiped out by a meteorite. Perhaps a fairer question in this context would be is Christianity making a comeback?

    Quite simply, no it isn't. Sunday Church attendance in the UK for both CofE and Catholicism has plummeted in the last thirty years and is down by a third since 1989 with Catholicism taking the greatest loss. (UK census figures). Only about a third of the UK population has any belief in a god compared with almost 3/4 of the population in the US.

    On a global scale Christianity is thought to be over all stable and growing at a rate directly comparable to global population growth (2.3% annually). Islam is growing faster than the population is growing (2.9%) and is speculated to overtake Christianity in numbers early in the 21st century.

    Back in the UK, the 2001 census revealed there are 390,000 Jedi Knights. Hands up anyone?
