Why? Babylonian cities had their gods actually, physically there.

Gimme back my statue/god

So did Judaism until after they came back from Babylon having learnt some tricks from Zoroastrianism. It was the common mode.

Nah, "godless" sounds way cooler.

I would 100% pick godless as a title if offered
MetricVeil t1_iyjao22 wrote
I like 'godridden'. :)
Lopsycle t1_iyjdf7f wrote
Doesn't that sound like you're plagued by gods though? Or stuck in gods? Bedridden/plagueridden
MetricVeil t1_iyje4zb wrote
>... you're plagued by gods though?
Precisely. Godless, denotes a human society bereft of 'God'. 'Godridden' denotes a society suffused with a unchallengable belief in a deity.

Hopefully people will now stop referring to the UK as a Christian country
Banea-Vaedr t1_iyhedo3 wrote
The UK literally has its own state-supported church. Ergo, still a Christian nation
certain_people t1_iyhf4u4 wrote
The head of state is literally the head of the church, and the government appoints religious leaders. Smh. Definitely a Christian nation.

And have Bishops in the House of Lords
Fletche t1_iyhfioo wrote
Should it still apply if over 50% of the country are not Christian. Time to scrap these unused services!

They should wear it as a Badge of Honor. It should be their city motto.

Wow, a city that is the San Francisco of England and full of gays doesn't believe in God. Who'd have thought a bunch of people who most religions call subhuman for wanting to love someone of the same sex would not believe in a deity?

What is Daniel Green's theological affiliations? The headline is pejorative and designed to imply 'godliness' is a good thing.

I take issue with the phrasing of this headline
