During earlier negotiations on the content of the new EU charter, Spain, Italy and Poland were among the strongest supporters of a reference to God in the treaty.

Is the issue so important in any of these or other countries that they might actually vote to reject the Constitution if it excluded a reference to God?

Out of the Dark Age came the most magnificent thing we have in our society: the recognition that people can have a society without having a state.

I'd vote to reject it if it included one.

I'm not quite a member state, of course. But I'd hope I wouldn't be unique.

They put up a new text with God in it to the French, it'll get thrown out again.
