Irrelevant; “secular” and “atheist” aren’t the same thing at all. A society composed of 100% religious people can be secular.

I know, which is why I didn’t write “wrong, **JRDelirious** , because most Europeans are religious, one way or another.”

I wrote “lest we forget, most Europeans are religious, one way or another.” It was a reminder about how, even in secular, and supposedly super-atheist Europe - with lots of internet all over, by the way! - religion is still alive and kickin’.
