Hi Boiler,
No I don't mean humanist, I don't mean any label, just simply human.
Why should those questions be immediately relegated as religious?

Mine is that Coventry City will get promoted, I wonder how that belief will be looked on in 100 years...

It's been a long time, but I recollect all those issues being dealt with in RE class.

Yes, we compartmentalise the issues, but sometimes convenient labels and compartments can't answer those most searching human questions for some people, then what? The questions are still there....

You probably do not give a toss about CCFC, but I would never say that made you not human. And there are some very searching questions there.
Some humans are interested in religous beliefs, some are not, each to their own. Just do not assume everybody has your interests/beliefs and if they do they elevate them to the same importance.
I personally object to others fostering there religous beliefs on me and society as a whole as somehow scientific. Best reserved for church. Or chapel etc etc.
