Opium Of The Masses

It won't come as much of a surprise to most people, but Britain is one of the world's least religious countries according to a recent poll. Why should you expect otherwise in the land that gave birth to Charles Darwin?

Interestingly the poll revealed that religious beliefs flourish more amongst the poor and uneducated reminding us of Karl Marx's old adage about religion being the opium of the masses.

All in all I'd say the appetite for gods is well and truly on the wane worldwide.
