It would never happen in the United States, but the third party in British politics, the Liberal Democrats, has now elected itself a new leader, Nick Clegg, who, when asked the simple question, "Do you believe in God?" gave a one word answer: "No."
Clegg 'does not believe in God'
I'll re-iterate that for you: the leader of a major political party in the UK is an atheist. Would that ever happen in your country?
The world could learn a lot from Britain's attitude to religion (or absence of religion). I wouldn't want to live anywhere else!
