Old joke:
A man calls on a atheist friend of his and finds him packing up his clothes and other goods.
'Going on holiday, then?'
'Nope. Emigrating.'
'Emigrating! Whatever for??'
'Three hundred years ago in the country, if you didn't go to church, you got a week in the stocks. Two hundred years ago, you got a week in prison. One hundred years ago, you had to pay a fine. I'm leaving before they make it bloody mandatory!'
