With you up to the point you lapsed into a prejudiced atheist position..
A 'prejudiced' position? No, a position arrived at after being for half my life a believer in God, albeit one who from a very early age always asked when being told or having read something, 'Is this true?', followed by a clear understanding that God did nothing, while still believing there must be a force/power out there somewhere - and that was because of a lack of sufficient awareness of the rapidly increasing knowledge of space and its contents - until, fortunately,  a sure knowledge that of course there never had been any God/god anywhere, any time!  In other words, a thoroughly well thought out opinion.

I have read and agreed with most if not all your posts in these referendum-related discussions, Vlad, so do hope I don't have to go back to scrolling past them in other various discussions! :)

Vis a vis God and politics.
God is not a political question but a theological question.
Politics as they say is about short term or long term human affairs.
As we know the elimination and planned hardship of people can be a purely civil affair.

For God to matter in politics you would have to think of him her it as evil.........
And where would that leave atheism?
