I'm in Sweden Markblur.
The number of atheists is going down & the crime rate is going up.
They're starting work on a new mosque soon in Gothenburg & there is pro PKK grafitti where I live. Oh the joys of a liberal society.

(That sounds a bit negative, I'm mostly pro Sweden's policies, and love Sweden).

2. Like any half-decent atheist, I'm fond of a bit of religion

re the funeral anecdote, I was recently at a funeral where no one was very religious but it was being held in a church (long story).
Everyone was commenting afterwards that the religious parts left them all cold and the only moving parts of the service were the readings relating to the deceased.
Nobody took solace from the religious readings, they were mostly irritated by them.
