This interested me actually. In the UK we have a general baseline of Christianity but I generally thought that the beliefs were mostly agnostic to atheist. But when I happened to mention I was an atheist to my parents (who show no other interest in religion) they were outwardly surprised.
- detst 17y agoSounds similar to a friends refusal to reject the existence of ghosts. They don't really have any interest in ghosts and no doubt don't believe in their existence but refuse to express their disbelief for fear of being proven wrong.
- mixmax 17y agoThat is interesting. I've never discussed religion with my parents or other family - just assumed them to be agnostic. Maybe I'm wrong...
- ErrantX 17y agoAm I right in thinking (from your domain) you are Danish? I'd be interested in whether you're right or not in that assumption. Because It's common thought to me that northern European countries are generally more agnostic anyway (I suspect because the Roman Empire/Holy Roman Empire never really touched it)
- mixmax 17y agoSpot on. According to this site: http://www.adherents.com/largecom/com_atheist.html http://www.adherents.com/largecom/com_atheist.html it's the third most atheist country in the world.
