In this day and age it is remarkable that people still take religion seriously. Reading of his conversion is like being told that, after years of indecision, he has finally concluded that superman can indeed fly faster than rudolph. People who belief in invisible sky gods should not be allowed to hold high office.

Both Protestantism and Roman Catholicism have one thing in common. Like every other religion, they are man made. The sooner humankind leaves the god-man tradition behind the better for our species.

The UK has no ban on Catholics being Prime Minister.

Unlike the ban for a Catholic being King or Queen. In this day and age though........if the Windsor family did decide that all this royalty m'larkey wasn't worth it anymore......Maybe a Catholic royal family would be accepted. It would be a right old bruhaha, though.

Blair seems to have a faith................ Fair enough. Religion makes no sense to me, yet many intelligent people seem to go for it. Mel Gibson, George Bush, Tom Cruise, Korean missionaries.......

Ironically the Vatican was opposed to the invasion of Iraq.

I won't say religious people should not be allowed to run in elections, but it should be held against them. In Canada we had a very promising right-wing candidate get his whole platform for PM shot down when it came out he was a Creationist. Nobody could take him seriously after that. But the whole invisible sky god thing isn't that big of a deal, as long as policies are not made by the politician that depend on the intervention of said deity.

As a former Christian myself, I find it interesting how few Xians there are in Canada compared to the US. People who say (wrongly) that there are few cultural differences between the two countries need to consider this fact. I haven't figured out the reason for this discrepancy, but it is a mark of pride (or ought to be) that politicians ' professing belief in sky gods are seriously frowned upon in Canada.

I remember when Canada had a memorial for the 9/11 victims in 2001, the prime minister stated clearly that the word 'god' should not be mentioned in the memorial service.

Religion is just scary. Religious conservatives believe that the world is coming to an end - and this is a good thing. It will hasten the return of a non-existent Greco-Hebrew deity. And fukk the environment too. After all, the world's coming to an end.

What a bunch of stupid mammals we humans are.

I don't want the facts to get in the way:


Canadians practice a wide variety of religions. According to 2001 census,
[67] 77.1% of Canadians identified as being Christians; of this,
Catholics make up the largest group (43.6% of Canadians). The largest
Protestant denomination is the United Church of Canada; about 16.5% of
Canadians declare no religious affiliation, and the remaining 6.3% were
affiliated with religions other than Christianity, of which the largest is
Islam numbering 1.9%, followed by Judaism: 1.1%.

Bingo 77% Xians in Canada. In the US 76% actually one percent less.

I'm just stating the facts where someone has made an assumption.

Huge percentage of Catholics to boot.
