Religion causes more harm than good...

...according to a Guardian poll.

Very interesting. A third of the population are religious, which is about the same as the number of smokers.

And we all know that's been banned in public places...

Does 'passive religion' cause harm to people thus exposed?

7/7
9/11

Anybody?


Ok...........................I'll get me coat

I find this poll very encouraging actually; now all we need to do is get rid of that superstitious cretin Blair and his ignorant policy of religious apartheid in schools.

But then Bliar's (yes, intentional) recent stance on not letting the catholic church off the hook re: homosexuality, is somewhat encouraging, if only in a small way, even if it is from the administration of 'open government', that bastion of 'no more scandal per week politics', the 'whiter than white' government.
No, I do not forget...
You know the rest

Yes, I was pleasantly surprised with the result of that particular debate. I was pretty much expecting Blair to bend over and do whatever the religious organisations demanded, based on past experience.
