I have always questioned those who claim to be "practicing" medicine (for example) because I would prefer to associate with those who have finished practicing and have become real.
Most of us won't hold UK against you -- and will overlook King George III issues.
Seriously, now, Welcome to the forum.

Welcome.My sister lives in Glasgow. My wife and I will be visiting Scotland soon. We'll see Glasgow, Edinburgh, the Hebrides and the area around the Spey. She has ancestors in all of those areas.

I hear that the UK has become increasingly atheistic during the last few years. Is that true from your point of view?
It does seem that there a growing hostility towards religions in general. The anti-Christian sentiments are tied in with an anti-Americanism that comes from Bush making political and global decisions based on 'what God told him to do'. Other anti-religious feeling comes from the increasingly hostile views of Islam. Church Of England was more of a faith than an organised religion - respectful in most cases and anti-dogmatic.
It's funny how in the US you can't get elected unless you're a 'proper' Christian, but in the UK people would think you were a nutter. Tony Blair was warned off talking about religion - he himself is a Catholic. People in the UK may be religious but even they see the danger of people making decisions based on reliogion and not economics, diplomacy, society etc.
