    Believing in God and been religious are two completely different things.

    Been religious in past tense?


    Yes, that mistake REALLY annoys me. It's a different TENSE.

    How does grammatical pettiness rank on the cosmic scale according to Buddha? To me it's rather important but I'd imagine that the enlightened master may have intended other things to occupy your thoughts :)

    In which case hardly anyone cares enough to change the status quo. It doesn't mean that people are fervently behind the Catholicism of most hospitals and schools.

    Its not the case that hardly anyone cares. For example, in a RedC poll last year 72% of parents said that they want primary schools to be managed by the state, with equal opportunity afforded to all religions.

    There is a lack of political will, but recent (and upcoming) reports may change that; there was a debate in the Seanad yesterday that included the subject of church control of schools and any support for the status quo was based around the financial cost of changing it.
    I am a theist and I think that these places should be secularised too. So try not to stereotype people.
    That wasn't my intention.
