The UK Right-Wing parties are going hard today on how the UK is a Christian country. The thing is we're actually an A-Religious country. 30% say they have no religion when asked. 30% were brought up in a faith but haven't though about it since they were 10. 20% know what to do in a place of worship, but only ever go for weddings and funerals. Which leaves 10% who are just getting old.
It's not that we're Atheist. We're A-Religious. We're simply not interested and don't care.
@jbond " The thing is we're actually an A-Religious country. 30% say they have no religion when asked. "
In the last (2021) Census the proportion of people saying they had no religion was 37.2%. The proportion saying they were Christian was 46.2%, so more than those of no religion but still a minority.

I do feel some sympathy for Atheists. But I hate the way the Theists get to define us in their terms. As if there are only two choices. Believe in God or Believe there is no God. I choose the third way. There is no Belief.

I’m an atheist. I don’t do religion. I do science. So I pray to Athea, Goddess of Contradictions, for lo, she is the G.O.A.T. Contradictions are the building blocks of the universe. They are what reality is made of.
@jbond @LevZadov @Sine_Nomine @marjolica Everything is in entropy.
There is no God. God was constructed to ensure our 'bad' actions would be judged. God is a political device.
