Why are fewer English people going to their local pubs for a drink? Are they aware that many pubs are shutting down due to lack of customers?

You have to understand what the attraction of the English pub was in the first place.

Entertainment (pre TV and radio)

A range of alcoholic drinks

Why do most atheists in debates with theists take Bible verses out of context much of the time? Are they lying maliciously or do they not understand theology enough to understand the meaning?

But now:

Back in the day (early 20th century and before) the English pub offered things you couldn’t get in a working-class home:

You can get a wider range of quality drinks at lower prices from a supermarket

What are some lesser-known facts about Bollywood and the Indian film industry? Are there any insider secrets that only those in the industry would know? How reliable are these claims?

In the mid to late 20th century they added food, without the inconvenience of cooking it or washing up.

They need to offer either food of a quality you can’t get at home (true gastro-pub experience) or alternative entertainments - live music, poker nights, sports viewing etc.

Your home has more comfortable seating and a garden

Why are so many people anti-Trump? People didn't like Obama either, but he was the president, so people didn't do this. What makes Trump different?

Comfortable seating in a warm, cozy environment, or a nice pub garden

You have 1001 sources of entertainment on TV and the Internet

You can get takeaway or even cook yourself a wider range of food of good quality

Why do I feel like something bad is going to happen to me?

The pubs with the best chance of survival long-term recognize that they can’t just get away with the same 3 beers, ropey wine and pub-grub. Why pay more for something worse than you can get at home for less?
