I have said many a time that there is a HUGE difference between the way religion is viewed here and in the states. Si here is where we can ask questions of each other (me and a few others being the UK side of things) about Christianity on both sides of the pond.
One thing that I have always wanted to know is whither atheists are as shunned as I have been told. I have a friend who stayed in the states over the summer past and was sacked from his temp job the day after saying he doesn't attend church over here and was an atheist. Now I always thought he exaggerated (he does that) but it would be nice to know how the church reacts to atheism in the states. Over here atheism isn't the churches biggest problem really. Aye they try and encourage people to attend, but the biggest religious obstacle they have is probably all the young new age religions that more young people are experimenting with (from paganism to Buddhism) which takes them away from the Church.
