Presumably explained the science behind the miracles....

No Keith. I posted two links at different times and you know it. One link was to the BBC story and the other was to a humanist website that gave a round up of recent polls. The paragraph you are avoiding like the plague is ;

"However, in a poll conducted by YouGov in March 2011 on behalf of the BHA, when asked the census question 'What is your religion?', 61% of people in England and Wales ticked a religious box (53.48% Christian and 7.22% other) while 39% ticked 'No religion'. When the same sample was asked the follow-up question 'Are you religious?', only 29% of the same people said 'Yes' while 65% said 'No', meaning over half of those whom the census would count as having a religion said they were not religious."

The Daily Torygraph has an interesting article too, telling the reality. This for instance;


"Thirty years ago more than two thirds of the population associated with one religion or another.

While 40 per cent classed themselves as Anglican a generation ago, now only 20 per cent do so."


Any more myth busting you want to take into account? Just bear in mind, it isn't that religion is a dying hobby, as much as that is to be welcomed, it's that the truth about religiosity is different to what you want us to believe.

God or Clapton help 40 years of pupils. Which text book did you use for astrophysics, "Worlds in Collision"?
