Some good points raised Marcus. I think there are plenty in Eastern Europe and South America. As for the others, you're saying that it's their bad luck to be born in the wrong country as God is spiteful and will only help believers?
If that's the case, it's a risk practicing any religion isn't it? I mean suppose the Jehohah's Witnesses are the ones who are right. Jeremy is just making God even more mad by doing the wrong thing whereas I fly under the radar. Does the halo effect of me living in a Christian society/nation mean that I get the protection afforded to my Christian neighbour whilst also still being an atheist? I've got a sort of human sheild around me.
