I dunno, Keith. I have thought for quite some time that "followers of religion are a minority in the UK." I've read statistics that indicate that to be so. Do I count?
I think it would be a fallacy to say that "atheists are a majority," because atheism seems to be a more active form of nonbelief.

Raggytash, you may think it a matter of semantics, but I would hope to see a day when people no longer see a need to refute or denigrate the belief systems (or nonbelief) of others. It seems that we humans have a tendency to think ourselves right and all others wrong - but that isn't a very good way to live in harmony.

I would like to see a time when people of various schools of thought could learn to go beyond mere "tolerance" to true respect for the way other people think. I think we should all be able to learn from each other and respect each other, without all thinking the same way.
