As she is head of the Church of England I would assume that she is not. Why do you ask??

Not publicly Link

I just figured with an apparent majority of brits being atheist she would be as well. Why would you hold her in such high regard when you think she believes in fairy tales?

Why indeed. I am not a monarchist so no problem for me

We don't judge people by their religious beliefs.

Do you think the whole royal thing is an outdated system and should be abolished?

 

[Mike375]

Brian,

Would you regard (a genuine question) someone who believes in a supernatural but has no opinion/feeling as to what such a supernatural would be like.....as being religious.

No I said that very high levels of formal education don't usually go with extremely high incomes. However, the average income of those with formal education is higher.

There are exceptions and the CEOs of life insurance companies would be one notable exception (simiar to those you noted) as they are often actuaries and of course the medical specialists. However, the average actuary and other people with a similar level of qualification in the financial area are not real high income earners. Their income is very high compared to the average income but it is not at the real high level.

seems i've wasted my time going to university and then working in an investment bank, should have skipped school to earn the big bucks

i bet Bill Gates regrets going to Harvard too, perhaps if he had of watched Sesame Street instead he might have a quid or too to his name

You are diverting (hijacking) the thread Ken
The one advantage of having a Royal family is it stops people like the Bliars being the 1st family, and apparently attracts American tourists.

Are you saying that believing in something without empirical evidence for it defines one as a zealot? If so, I'm not quite sure you have an adequate grasp of the term.

No, I was responding to Lister's use of the term - you will see I was quoting him.

No , in my opionion you have to follow a religion to be religious in the accepted sense of the term. Why do you ask me specifically, I'm not sure whether to be curious or worried.

I said there were exceptions and the facts are the average actuary is not a big earner when measured against real big earners and ditto for accountant, solicitor and so on.

Your remark about Sesame Street gives a false impression of people who are very large earners but who either have no tertiary education or if so it is at a lower level. These people in fact tend to be highly educated where it counts for them earning money.

In English God will refer to the god portrayed in the Bible. You don't say such things as......if god appears etc....that should be....if a god appears...

Using "christian" for Christians is the same as using bill, john or mary etc.

Yes and we all know that good grammer and correct spelling are prerequisites for posting on internet forums.

I wonder if she thinks you feel that way...?

I don't get the impression that most of you brits feel that way about them (the royals, it is a package deal isn't it?) Seems most around here love her to death...

Brian,

Just wondering what you regarded as religious beliefs. You just happened to make a post that triggered my question.

I suppose Alisa is religious. She treats atheism as a religion She shares with the Bible thumpers a dogmatic approach to a belief of which there is no direct or real evidence.
