In the UK alone, people who consider themselves to be religious is drastically declining, and some believe this is a sign of the end. A 2018 study from the British Social Attitudes (BSA) found that 52 percent of Britons do not consider themselves to be religious – up from 31 percent in 1983.
People who identify as Christian has fallen from 66 percent to 38 percent over the same period.

“At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.
“Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”
