Just a Note...

I was recently involved in a blogging argument at "Fundies Say the Darndest Things" where I was ripped for calling Great Britain a very secular country.

An overwhelming number of Britons believe religion does more harm than good while non-believers outnumber believers by nearly two to one, an ICM poll suggested.

But in general, The Guardian survey confirmed the overall decline in religious observance in recent years, particularly in Christian denominations: only 13 percent said they visited a place of worship at least once a week.
Forty-three percent said they never attended.


Although Britain is Protestant, with its monarch Queen Elizabeth II the "defender of the faith", only a small minority (17 percent) described it as a Christian country.

So there.
