Which would secularists rather have, Christianity or Islam?

Peter Hitchens is a Christian, but his brother Christopher is a militant atheist, author of the book God is Not Great. Peter recently posed a dilemma for Christian-bashers like his brother. From Christian Telegraph:

A broadcaster and journalist has been telling London’s Premier Radio that the United Kingdom ‘could soon become a Muslim country,’ reports Michael Ireland, chief correspondent, ASSIST News Service.

Peter Hitchens, who is an Anglican, says it’s because Christianity is too feeble in Great Britain.

According to a broadcast story by the radio station, Hitchens is concerned the Christian religion that British society is based on is ‘constantly trashed’ and he predicts eventually Islam will become the dominant religion in Britain.

He said: “The problem is that it will happen not because Muslims are working or conspiring for it to happen, I don’t believe for a moment that only but a tiny few would think in those terms. It will happen because Christianity in this country is too feeble.”

Hitchens added: “Islam has the strength and will eventually also have the numbers to become dominant. That will change Britain in many, many different ways and people who want to drive Christianity out should work out now which one of those they prefer because if they don’t get one they will get the other.”
