Secular Progressive

Bonsoir Keith, t'other day you referred to me as a "Secular Progressive"
equating it to mean (in my case) socialist/communist, having finally
bothered to look this term up, which I hadn't heard before, I find it
translates to:

adjective

   Secular progressive is defined as a non-religious person or organization
   that promotes and supports liberal change and reform.

Whilst I believe in God, far as the rest of the meaning goes I thank you
for your very flattering appellation, I might even have a T-shirt printed
with this on it. Reform, especially parliamentary reform, would be the
culmination of my existence.
