I live in a largely secular country, in a largely secular continent and an entirely secular personal world. I dont fear religion because most simply do not care for outdated beliefs designed to make them scared enough to do what they are told.
The power is not their and any reference is actually politically stamped down, tony blair himself was reprimanded on the fact of his suggesting he will be judged by god, labour (the main political party here) apparently does not 'do god.'
I fear the politcal power of christianity, its restrictive beliefs and the southern attitudes that I have no control over but lead to brit soldiers fighting an unjust war.
