In todayâs climate religion is an important issue, in my opinion more so than any other time in history. Where you sit in the fence defines who we are and our stances on a significant number of political and moral issues.
I am an Atheist and consequently a big fan of Richard Dawkins, he is leading the charge on the non-believers front. I was brought up in a very lax Church of England family and at an early age I finally decided religion was not for me. I find it too hard to discount and ignore scientific evidence to believe in something that I believe to be as unlikely as it is outdated.
The reason for my post is I am curious how religious the average populous is. This has no correlation to any military setting; I don't use any other forums apart from www.richarddawkins.net and I have a sneaky suspicion the results there would be slightly bias.
Any conversation I bring up on this matter seems to be with people who are Atheists, such as myself, or don't have an opinion or care. It makes me believe the non-believer front is more popular than initially thought.
Please post your creed in the poll and feel free to post any healthy debate from both sides of the coin.
Just an afterthought but whenever I'm asked,
"What came first, the chicken or the egg?"
I always respond:
"I don't know, but it certainly wasn't the fcuking farmer!"
