In the last fifty years, Christianity has been facing a sudden decline in Great Britain. This is mostly due to globalization and the changes in lifestyle that it has brought about. Christians have faced these changes in different ways. While some support consumerism and globalization, some reject and condemn it. Also, there are those who seek spiritual fulfilment in other religions, particularly Islam and New Age. The Christian Church is no longer regarded as the highest religious authority and its outdated standpoints over controversial social issues such as homosexuality and abortion are what many Christians resent and what is making them drift apart from their Church and their faith. The Church is perceived by a growing number of Christians as intolerant and hostile rather than welcoming. With both globalization and the inflexibility of the Church, people find it challenging to remain true Christians. Thus, the number of practicing Christians is rapidly decreasing while the number of nominal Christians is rising.
