    The country I live in has a leader of a fairly large church as it’s Head of State. It’s been this way going back generations. By the atheist definition, am I living under theocratic rule. It’s certainly more significant that someone simply saying the word “God” from time to time.

    Nobody really worries about it. In fact most people probably don’t know who the Head of State is, and if they do, they don’t know he’s the leader of a church. In fact we have religion pushed on us far less than countries that have official separation of church and state.

    BTW the Head of State I’m referring to is King Charles III, who is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England.

      This is so disingenuous I don’t even know where to begin. You’re so clever aren’t you.
