"No secularism please, we're british"

[The Magic Pudding]

But, stripped of fanaticism and self-righteousness, religious faith can do what secularism cannot: open doors on to areas of human experience – compassion, altruism, serenity, even enlightenment – which have no meaning for the secularists. The statement "there are no atheists in foxholes" may be a canard, but genuinely non-egoistical behaviour is much more likely from those for whom the ego and its grasping needs do not define ultimate reality.

Compassion, my feelings for the mother of twelve denied contraception, no I can't apply the word compassion to myself, it's to good for me.

Altruism, well I kinda feel my natural state is I wish the person I meet well, what are we supposed be a bunch of Grinches?

Serenity, it's a fleeting thing but if it's had through fantasy it's not worth much.

I've discussed the dehumanizing of atheists before, why don't they just call us evil hell spawn and be done with it?
