To me, taking the UK as an example of a country with a relative
absence
of
'bouncing' people into religion, and ignoring the various
immigrant
populations where 'religion' serves various purposes like
'cultural
solidarity' etc. we're down to something like maybe 5%
involvement/adherence
among the culturally 'protestant'. I don't know what the level
of
involvement in religion would be globally if everywhere was as
unoppressive
but it wouldn't surprise me if that wasn't the sort of level.

The magic 5% again :-)

I think they might be the essential symmetrical counterpart - the
'unmagic'
5% :)

Lacking in "power, leadership, enterprise, poetry, inspiration and
reaching
and utilizing the power of the unconscious mind".

BTW what do you think about Nietszche's Uebermensch? I start to see
you
as a potential fan of his.

I can remember barely anything about him (and nothing 'good').

i think he was very fond of horses.

!:) I believe it was one of those that the last British king to 'lead'
his
army from the front rode on - about 200 years ago - (as opposed to
'push'
from behind, or from a bunker, or like in chess).

: ) wasn't it a duke or something by then? 200 years ago would be
napoleon. i can't remember who the king was. you sure it was a king? i
get them all mixed up after james 2...

Apparently it was a bit further back - 1743. George II at the Battle of
Dettingen - "the last English monarch to lead his troops into battle."

1805, battle of trafalgar, nelson
mandela's column, south africa house, british lions, poll tax and riots,
neo-labour's local election results and bruce springsteen's sweet ass...

Wouldn't that be a bit old and bony and/or saggy by now? :)

these were my first thoughts...
but they've been re-shuffled...

on my desk there's a catnip mouse, 2 cat balls, a tweeting chick mike got
for him mom at easter because she likes things like that and forgot to
give to her, a purple small alien, just thrown for flick, who was also on
my desk, and a small beanie gorilla that must have dropped out of the sack
of cuddly toys my daughter agreed we could dispose of and finally went to
Age Concern yesterday - well she is 25...and wondering how they all end up
on my desk. and that's just the desk at home... : )

Women! :)
