Britain is now officially "post-atheist"

[ratewhore]

Just to add to the debate, this is on the beeb website today, about an ex-vicar who is now agnostic (as am I; agnostic that is, not an ex-vicar!):

Quick pertinent quote from it:

Einstein, another agnostic, looked at the universe and saw the workings of a "spirit" beyond our understanding, an intuition the atheist would stubble over.

Just my 2p's worth...

I shall be keeping a close eye on your future posts, you seem to forget the above at every opportunity

What can be more discriminative than just point out certain categories from the rest? What can be more discriminating than just agglomerating sectors that have nothing in common (muslim, gay, atheists) rather than just being the objects of their hate?He does not forget, he keeps discriminating every one who is different just as his "brothers" do.

Just look around and see how many churches have been sold off to housing developers, universities and other businesses. They weren't sold off because they had too many worshipers, and the remaining churches are hardly full on Sundays.

ONE of Rochdale’s oldest churches is to close because of a dwindling congregation.

Often described as a monument to freemasonry, St Edmund’s Church was founded by the Royds family in 1873.

OOh err - I thought freemasonry was supposed to make its members, well rounded, honourable and considerate? What went wrong?

Chico, you'd try the patience of a saint.
