The majority of Brits are atheist or agnostic, a poll has found, with only 30% of the population describing themselves as religious.

The UK is one of the least religious countries in the world, survey finds
53% of respondents said they were "not religious", though only 13% said they were a "convinced atheist" and the remainder said they "did not know".



yeah, humans are tall to short, not tall then short.  The same goes for beliefs.  the only rational position is middle ish.  Data suggest that "something" is far more reasonable then "nothing".   if you need it to "love and care for you" that's a personal need so we have to be honest.  Omni-dude just is not reasonable.
