I'm an Atheist. Well I suppose I should say a Protestant Atheist, what I mean by that is that whilst I don't have any belief in a God or divine being, I have a very strong love for the Church of England.
I've never really been religois as such, well apart from when I was a young child, but I grew out of that soon enough. Yet I really enjoy the ceremony and the community spirit involved in the Church of England. I like singing Hymns, and enjoy the majesty of the Churches.

That makes you a cultural Protestant.

So true! And I'm allowed to say that because I'm Anglican too. I actually do feel similarly to Will about the Episcopal Church. Only I'm not an atheist - I'm personally an Episcopalian, but I feel like pretty much everyone's religion is just another route towards the same inevitable goal. I have immense respect for other religions.

Great pic... Just sightly disappointing the dates wrong, should really be 1559, but never mind.
I've always seen the Church as a social club, Religion doesn't come into it

This thread just goes on and on confirming my prejudices... :P

But Henry VIII was basically still a Catholic, his religous views were Catholicism but with Him in charge instead of the Pope... Originally Posted by Victor
