I am against us having an established Church and I believe all religions get undue financial benefits but CofE Churches are not paid for through taxation in this country. I would agree new churches are not built through taxation by the centuries old churches were really as people didn't have much choice but to give to church funds etc very little choice in attendance too. Who would have thought it was possible to misunderstand "I see no evidence for a god, so I think he does not exist". However it is extremely worrying that some appear to believe that anyone who is an atheist should be "fundamental" about it (to the point of not going into churches). "Worrying" because they have obviously basing that on feeling people of faith (which they erroneously believe atheists are) should be fundamental. Once again people are failing to grasp that being an atheist is similar to holding a belief that the "loch ness monster does not exist", and NOT "Jesus is the son of god" (and all that goes with it). There is NO baggage associated with atheism that we must obey to be proper atheists. If I tell a doctor that I am Christian it is no more significant than if I tell him I am 40 when I am 41 ( ). For a Muslim to say they are a Christian or a Christian to say they are a Muslim then they should believe it to be a grave sin. Cambridge: When
