The good thing about England is that atheism is massively growing and many atheists look upon religious people as nutcases. The thought of getting involved in religious sectarianism (even if it’s mostly political) is laughable to me as an atheist, I feel a bit sorry for people who still cling on to that backwards old-fashioned kind of thing.Probably still there but it’s nowhere near Scotland.
I really hope it doesn’t creep in down here.
If we had a competent england manager then pickford wouldn't be getting on the pitch.Weh weh wehhhh, we're going to be losing our goalkeeper and probably Gueye and a few others as well. Everyone's got players going off to the WC, City included. Liverpool aren't the only ones.
I don’t think it’s actually religion, the sectarians just use Catholic vs Protestant to describe their Irish vs British nationalism.The good thing about England is that atheism is massively growing and many atheists look upon religious people as nutcases
Jack Charlton would have loved this postDoes that include one’s who have drank a pint of guinness ;-)

What does that mean?35% of Manchester are of Irish descent.
When I was growing up in Manchester, I didn't have the faintest idea what religion our neighbours were. Why would I care? No skin off my nose what deity they chose to follow. Schoolfriends would have been catholic, obviously, with me going to catholic schools. But it was hardly a topic of rapt conversation on a monday morning. "Oi, Dave; did you go to communion yesterday?" Er; no.I don’t think it’s actually religion, the sectarians just use Catholic vs Protestant to describe their Irish vs British nationalism.
Where you are right is that nobody in England gives a flying fuck if your background is Catholic or Protestant and generally speaking the Irish are now seen positively here, it’s why we have the least amount of this nonsense.
I just about remember it being a bit of an issue, not much but a bit.When I was growing up in Manchester, I didn't have the faintest idea what religion our neighbours were. Why would I care?

How dare Villa fans want a crap manager to get sacked.
