Atheists living in very religious places, do you have moments of doubt?

[Ben Davis]

It's a weird situation here in the UK. We're a democratic quasi-secular theocracy. The majority of people are vaguely religious and the religion that most people vaguely follow is christianity which is because the official state religion is Anglicanism (The Church of England). Strangely, this is a highly alluring form of religion: it doesn't really require much from you on a day-to-day basis, has great holidays & celebrations, is tolerant (and absorbent) of other beliefs, often well educated, is hard to argue against (philosophically) and is generally acceptable to most people. Because there's very little pressure to be religious, most people find themselves happy to be vaguely so! Plus, we all get to gang up on the fundies.

Overall, it's so insidious, it's really fucking scary!
