Looks good, probably better without a manufactured dress code.

But did we really need yet another thread around semantics/word definitions?

Do they?

I'm going to have to go back through my life and look into when I have expressed love for this religion, or even admiration. I'll get back to you and your ridiculous assertion once I've completed the important task of watching cute cat videos.

For that to make any sense in reply to my post, you would have to assume that I, and, for reasons best known to you, a majority of other atheists, love Christianity.

Since I don't, and since extrapolating from my opinion to the majority is specious  it makes your reply, as so much of your posting, a worthless ejaculation.

And probably not only in the Sherlock Holmes sense.

Oh dear

While less than half the UK population identified as Christian in the 2022 census

The census in 2022 only covered Scotland.

Anyway, would somebody like to define paganism? The "religion" described in the article seems to be a mashup of what people perceive to be the pre-Christian traditions in the UK and Ireland.

I'venever seen stamp collection mentioned or even intimated at when atheists have assisted pagans in their attacks on christianity. I seem to remember atheists on here who declared themselves naturalistic pantheists.

I remember Christians on here finding beating up gay people funny.

Brick Tamland strikes again...
No Brick, you are just pointing at train drivers and saying "Love paganism".
Train drivers are not on record as Naturalistic Pantheists....Unless Mick Lynch is being naturalistic pantheist about the strikes.

Still watching cute cat videos so still not able to rebut your absurd allegations of loving paganism, and now apparently being on record as Naturalistic Pantheism.

Please give me some pointers as to why you think this applies. This is just to make the process easier for us poor atheists who are unwittingly expressing these thoughts or indulging in these beliefs so that we can revert to the pure atheism that we have deserted.

Oh how I miss those sunlit uplands.

Christians are on record as finding beating up gay people to be funny. Why do you Christians think it is funny to beat up gay people?
