A Eurobarometer poll in 2010 reported that 37% of UK citizens "believed there is a God", 33% believe there is "some sort of spirit or life force" and 25% answered "I don't believe there is any sort of spirit, God or life force".[1]

In 2014, The Telegraph reported:

“ The British are among the most sceptical in the world about religion, a global study has found.

Just over a third of people in the UK believe religion has a positive role to play in our daily lives, compared to a global average of 59 per cent.[2]

”

Between 1983 and 1993 more than 160 horses were sexually mutilated and stabbed in Britain.[3] British police and animal experts have put the blame on fertility cults, rival horse owners and sadists for the attacks.[4]

Irreligious France and horse meat eating

See also: French atheism

Due to its past, namely the anti-clerical French Revolution and its after effects, France has the 8th highest rate of atheism in the world with 43–54% of the population being atheists/agnostics/non-believers in God.[5] In 2015, it was estimated that at least 29% of France's population identifies as atheists and 63% identifies as non-religious.[6]

On January 8, 2019, Wikipedia (an online encyclopedia founded by an atheist and agnostic) declared:

“ In France, specialized butcher shops (boucheries chevalines) sell horse meat, as ordinary butcher shops were for a long time forbidden to deal in it. However, since the 1990s, it can be found in supermarket butcher shops and others.

Horse meat was famously eaten in large amounts during the 1870 Siege of Paris], when it was included in haute cuisine menus.[7]

Irreligious Sweden and horse meat eating

Sweden is one of the most atheistic countries in the world and the website adherents.com reported that in 2005 46 - 85% of Swedes were agnostics/atheists/non-believers in God.[8]


On January 8, 2019, Wikipedia declared:

“ Smoked/cured horse meat is widely available as a cold cut under the name hamburgerkött (literally hamburgermeat). It tends to be very thinly sliced and fairly salty, slightly reminiscent of deli-style ham and, as a packaged meat, may list horsemeat (as hästkött) as its primary ingredient. Several varieties of smoked sausages made from horse meat including Gustafskorv are also quite popular, especially in the province of Dalarna, where it is made.[103] It is similar to salami or metworst and is used as an alternative to them on sandwiches. It is also possible to order horse beef from some well-stocked grocery stores.[9] ”
