I'm deeply hypocritical when it comes to religion. While professing to be a committed atheist and having no belief in an afterlife or a supreme being I did an annual Christmas show tour for 15 years (and made 3 carol CDs) on the principle of 'it's business.' I definitely have pagan tendencies, but more in the nature spirituality and philosophical sense. And at the same time I am still a product of approximately 3,500 hymn-singing school assemblies and of having 'Christian values' pumped into me all my life. I am one of those people who could easily put 'Christian' on my census form when I ap patently not by belief, but am by culture. The census form actually makes it easy to tick the Christian box because by doing so we don't have to think about the rest of it. Hence I would like a box that asks if I actively pursue my faith.
