Agreed Ard - Why did you not just say that in the first place? Most young people will say that they are devoid of religion. It is of no interest to them. This still does not detract from the fact that 90% of Poles class themselves as Catholic and 75% are practicing. Don't believe me? Check out -

Encyclopedia Brittanica

If that is too British try

The CIA world fact book

And if all else fails try

The Polish government site

Now I am sure you must agree that your original statement religion in his native country would not exist except for the elderly`s attendance at Mass is a far cry from the more recent Along with the majority of our youth they are completely devoid of any religion. I do know a lot about Poland, it's history and it's culture and the former statement is, quite simply, wrong. I am more than happy to accept the latter as agreement that your original may not be completely true.

I do apologise unreservedly for my previous uncalled for sarcastic comments. Maybe if there were more people like yourself, willing to talk to recent immigrants and understand them, we would not see the awful incidence of race hate in both our countries.
