2038

Predictions for 2038 seem to ignore the Wikipedia rule referring to a crystal ball. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.154.23.47 (talk) 12:46, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nick Clegg

Nick Clegg has stated in interview that he is not an atheist:

The statement was also not sourced, but now debunked anyway, so I have removed it. Bertcocaine (talk) 04:12, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Anglicanism is crucial

You claim that all Christians, even those who don't give a damn about the Monarch are one. Lies are distorted statistics. If all Christians were one, they would merge their Churches. Your filth has an opposite impact on Christianity. When you merge various stuff, you don't merely get complex statistics, but chemical reactions and decay!

Pure Dawkinsism

You merge all nonreligious people under one tag. Conscious atheists have nothing to do with religiously indifferent. Absolutely nothing. When you merely sit on your desk, pseudothinking with your negligible mind, Atheism seems as a form of religious indifference. I have spoken to Anglo-Polish conscious atheists and to Anglo-Shqip religious indifferent. They are day and night (here the idiom doesn't mean continuous, instead different, because day and night exhibit illuminant difference)! You merge them merely because they are enemies of Christianity, also Richard Dawkins wants to win the battle against religion, at any cost, even if people become merely indifferent towards it. I kept notes about things atheists and religiously indifferent said! It's like claiming that Hindus and Christians are Hindochristians merely because a. they believe in stories and b. are good people. I suggest you make a new group, called "people" so you can get the so desirable 100%, then you can call yourself a statistician, and proudly go fart in a corner.

make paragraph: The issue of hypernymy (religion used as the common hypernym of religion itself, atheism and metaphysical indifference; "metaphysical worldview" is one of the proposed hypernyms. The noun faith has many religious definitions (biased choice). The two-worded noun personal belief includes politics (very generic).
