The REALITY is the UK is a 'post Christian' country..
Most Brits will politely tolerate a 'mild' version of faith [ANY faith], because we are quintessentially polite, but as soon as it becomes 'preachy' or over-long, we are LOST, and quickly bored, [even quicker] made annoyed at 'the imposition'..
That Americans can sit through HOURS of this stuff, is interesting, but I assure you, after the first two or three minutes 99% of Brits had mentally 'switched off'...
I don’t think it is a matter of faith or not, Reverend Curry’s address was simply uninspiring, boring and repetitive. And his over-the-top delivery didn’t help either.
I was raised in a very religious family, but I don’t consider myself particularly religious today either. Still, I appreciate when someone makes a deep and meaningful theological argument, or simply an argument that is particularly significant or suited to the occasion. I didn’t see any of those in Rev Curry’s address.
