In America, atheists are still in the closet

There is no point even playing with the charade that the Queen has a choice to make. Barefoot knows as much as the rest of us that she is a ceremonial rubber stamper. The Queen has no choice to make and has no intention of even having a choice due to her and the monarchy's respect for the democratic apparatus of our political system.

Aww but it’s fun to make him rant his BS about things he is clueless about. However I am getting a little tired of showing him facts only for him to repeatedly effectively reply that’s not the answer he wanted because it does not agree with his wet dreams and hatred

Yes indeed.

Levels of non-belief and atheism that America just doesn't have. Well, not yet anyway.

Give them time and I have no doubt they'll get there.

Ya don't.
Here ya go, troll:
'Collective Worship
The law in England and Wales provides that children at all maintained schools "shall on each school day take part in an act of collective worship". In community schools, the worship must be wholly or mainly of a Christian character. In Academies and free schools the arrangements will depend on the funding agreement, which will usually have a compulsory worship element built in.
Britain is the only Western democracy to require worship in non-religious publicly funded schools.'

Jesus fooking christ on a crutch, you must be christian to reboot and start old, discredited arguments again and again so easily

We have been here before – several times

First there is a law but it is not upheld, but of course you cherry picking pedanticism makes no allowance for humanity and culture does it

the mixed nature of British culture makes the law impossible to uphold and it possibly violates the human rights treaty, signed by the UK. Parental and older pupils objections are also considered.

Second more than 50% of US schoolchildren are required by state law to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, rabbiting on that they are part of “one nation under God” i.e. forced to recognise that the US is a religious state.

Yes.
The United KING_dom has an ESTABLISHED OFFICIAL STATE CHURCH: Church of England.
And the head of state is the head of the state religion.

Oh, good.

We agree.

Go away.

I have the oddest suspicion that the reality is a bit bigger than the poll numbers suggest...

Hi, Khat.

Maybe you can start by revoking the law that requires religious worship in tax-funded schools?

Something which would be banned over here in the USA.

But of course: the majority of SUBJECTS in the United KING_dom are Christian, still, I guess you read into the numbers what you want to read.

PS: I see followers of Jedi outnumber Atheists 6 to 1, with the atheists coming in at a fraction of one percent.

The pledge has the words "under God" in it.

So?

Tell me: out of the tens of millions of children who recite the pledge, how many have been arrested in the history of time for not reciting it?

Ah... now I guess after posting the law fifty times you acknowledge that the law exists.

As I pointed out 49 times, it matters not that SOME schools do not obey the law, just as it does not matter that most people exceed the speed law when I say the law exists.

In comparing the religious influence of the church, the FACT that your STATE church has enough influence on legislators and of course the head of state being the head of the state religion approving the law goes to the comparison to the US constitution which BANS such influence.

US... having a constitution...

No need, the law is more or less defunct anyway

Why do you lie? Pledge of allegiance ring any bells?

Yes and down 18%, isn’t life great.

And 25% of the population are now non religious.

Yes so, what happens if you don’t happen to believe in any god does that mean you have to lie to be American?

Tell me how many British children have been arrested for not attending “compulsory” worship?

You want comparison then compare apples and apples

I imagine the same way you managed to get through your day praying to your lord Satan help guide you with what decisions you make.

WTF is wrong with you, I have always acknowledged it exists, I have also acknowledged that it is not implemented but hey if you want to argue about what I said and what I didn’t say that’s just fine. Go got it

Influence? Yehhh, right… With 760 lords and almost 650 in the commons (that’s just over 1400 members) I don’t think 25 lords spiritual will have too much influence, now be honest, do you?

And again you show your ignorance of the British constitution, the monarch is above politics and has no influence on political decisions
