More irreligious and atheistic places are Sweden, France, Denmark, Norway, UK.
I find it hard to believe Britain is that atheistic, especially considering their recent actions.
There is no way that the population is 70% Christian. No way. I don't care what the figures say. No way.
The only way that figure could be arrived at would be if the church was claiming non religious people towards it's figures without them really being theists - things such as asking loaded questions like "what were you baptised as?" rather than "are you a silly twat that believes in shit?"
I'm sure I read somewhere another study that had 44% of the UK population holding religious beliefs and that seems to compare to my life experience more realistically.
Nobody I know is openly theist (though some undoubtably are they keep quiet), but I know plenty of open atheists.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
