Theism and secular countries Jun 3rd 2012, 08:03 Folks, I'm wondering just how different the experience of theism is in secular countries, such as UK and France, from countries with very strong religious vibes, such as the US or Saudi Arabia? It may be that, as a Brit, theism doesn't hold the threat for me that it does for someone living in the bible belt. Over here, we don't expect the Church of England to come knocking on our doors, and the few cultish ones like Mormons or the like are seen mostly as harmless kooks. However, watching a documentary called "Wrong eyed Jesus" about the Southern US states, it was a very different vibe. No question, atheism would be about as popular as communism down there and elicit the same response. So question - Do you think your feelings about theism/atheism are effected by the vibe of the country you live in? Alex.
