The Church of England stopped believing in anything in the 18th century. Of course individual members are religious and they have probably gained ground since the state weakened its hold on senior appointments.

Personally I would recognise that the state church should minimise its religious content and fill posts on the basis of purely political patronage, but I suppose disestablishment would bee a better option.

I always thought I would quite like to be a priest, if only belief in religion was not required.

Well it isnt unknown for a priest to be a non believer, or even a Bishop.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
