The thing is we&#39;re actually an A-Religious country. 30% say they have no religion when asked. 30% were brought up in a faith but haven&#39;t though about it since they were 10. 20% know what to do in a place of worship, but only ever go for weddings and funerals. Which leaves 10% who are just getting old. <br/><br/>It&#39;s not that we&#39;re Atheist. We&#39;re A-Religious.
