An interesting article in The Independent claims the UK is now officially in its first ever ‘Age of Atheism’ as there are now more atheists than theists in the UK.
Clearly great news but makes it even more of a mystery why we still have 26 christian bishops appointed to law making positions in the House of Lords, why swearing on the bible is still a thing, why kids are still legally obliged to be force fed christian content in schools and why christian nationalists are on the rise amongst Tory MP’s.
We won’t stop until its all gone.
The Queen dies and so does their faith in god.
Coincidence?!
I think not!
You’ll be asked whether you want to swear an oath or make an affirmation, and you can swear on whatever you want.
Sure, but my point is that swearing an oath on a faith based book (of any variety) is not a basis for legality or integrity.
