This coming from a country that had more Jedi Knights than Catholics. ;)

It's taking a very select list of countries; the UK is the only representative from Europe. I expect a lot of Europe is equally if not more godless.


From http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0,3604,1156201,00.html

In the event, Miller says he was distressed by the tone of "cheery shallowness" with which the programme-makers deployed "spuriously quantitative media polls about which we were expected to talk; and then they insulted the disbelievers by saying, 'Why is England lagging so far behind in belief?'"

Personally, I like the idea of a belief gap. Perhaps we should close it by exporting more atheism.

I wouldn't bet on it.

Nah. No money in it.
