Religion is in decline in UK (and rest of world). In another century Atheism will dominate.

People don’t feel they need a religion to live by. 

All faiths are in identity crisis (even Islam).

I think the Khalsa will save this world - read Dasam Granth. Our Gurbani can compete with this.

 

This is all planned. But Atheism will also fail as it is totally material. AI tech itself is proving a spiritual realm exists and to survive we need to be aware of it.

GOD is the creator and the created. All possibilities exist so we choose our experiences. If an Atheist chooses his/her experience, it will be separation since GOD is unity (one consciousness) the universe will honor his choice and bring him/her that experience. Life is about free will choose and experience. GOD doesn't judge if you are an Atheist or a saint.

I would not say necessarily that there is a decline of religion per se. I would say that it is the abrahamic political strangehold has been unahackled off the populace and it has been happened for a long time.

There are new religions like environmentalism movement, trans etc seem to be in the fore now. 

 

Wow, that was profound.

The irony of course is that the Atheist is connected with one-ness. They never were separated really, it is just the perception that they are.

This thread though it says "Decline of Religion", I think it means Rise of Atheism and not believing in God therefore is conflated with Decline in religion.

Who says that you have a religion to believe in God. Even in Bani it says "Na koi Musalman, na koi Hindu". These are labels we give each other.

We are so indoctrinated in the Abrahamic ways, it really limits our understanding. 

Our concept of what God is very different of what the Muslim/Christian concept is.

The Decline of Religion is more an issue in the west as the Church is in Decline (though in my opinion it has been going on for centuries). After 2000 years of being under the church's yolk, Europe is going back to it's Dharmi

Really? Which rules/restrictions that are common in different religions are people happy to abide by?

You've just asked a completely different question by the looks of it. What do you mean by 'common in different religions'? How does that have any bearing? My point was that many people seem to adopt at least some restrictions on their life. 

The reality is that people do pick and choose. I mean we all know that martial training for dharam yudh is an essential part of Khalsa code of conduct (hence panj hathiars), but how many Amritdharis actually do this?

I've met plenty of pak-sullay who would never in a million years eat pork or non-halal as it is 'haraam' but still indulge in drinking and drugs even despite this too being haraam.  

I've met Jews also, who aren't remotely practising but do not eat pork.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
