Quote:Britain is a "Christian nation" and militant atheists should "get over it", according to Communities Secretary Eric Pickles.
So says Eric Pickles, a man who closely resembles a Dr Who villian.

He correctly notes the problem, though. You have an established church. Time to dump that shit and while you are at it toss the queen and her gang of parasites along with it.

Just think of this as our way of saying "thanks" for all the Puritans you sent our way about 400 years ago.

He looks like a grosser version of Karl Rove.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Someone should ask him "why so sour, Pickles?"
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould

I don't believe britain is a christian nation at all any more, it is multicultural. But, I don't believe anyone should be able to tell others what they can and can not do. Political correctness drives me insane, and I have to admit, even though I am an atheist myself, some of these (millitant) atheists are so petty.
