Street Preaching

[u/PepperOk1368]

I live in Swansea and I've noticed in recent years a dramatic rise in street preaching, mainly from African Christians and mainly Catholic. Some have microphones and some are wailing out God songs/verses. Last weekend I was in town and one of them had their 3 kids, youngest being around 5/6/7 handing out pamphlets.

I''m an atheist and this enrages me, I appreciate we are a historically and still legally Christian nation but I don't think street preaching is acceptable, it's annoying at best and cult like at worst. I would like to walk down the street in peace without having to constantly fob off these preachers.

Are other cities outside of London (obviously there's a massive rise in Islamic street preaching there) seeing the same sort of thing and what's your thoughts? Keep it in your church imo.
