I don't think he said that 30% were atheists, Peter, in fact, the percentage of those
is actually
very small. What Howard is doing for most of them is subjugating them to the Christian
God -
something Muslims and a host of other religions mind very much. But you're right, of
course, the
effect of the strategy is the same.
He would like us to think that he is so devout that he wants this in but he gives the
strategy
away by recognising that not everyone believes in his god but says he thinks they
won't mind...
Right.
The republic and preamble according to Howard.
