LOL - you really must learn to cover up your frustration when you lose an argument FD. It is funny.. but a poor attempt at baiting. Your imaginary friend can't be much good at cheering you up!
LOL - ok, I promise to stop invading your thoughts and making you imagine that I'm fantasising about your imaginary stripper friends. Happy?
(What weird fantasies you have FD - talking about my manhood to imaginary strippers and now imagining I'm fantasising about an imaginary friend of yours!!)
Shafique, you are defnitely very cheap if you ask qustion like this but I will reply. I am Russian but not Atheist. As I assume this reply is not satisfied you, so I will carry on.
I am Muslim at the moment and it was the only way to save my lady from a big trouble because a quick marriage was required. It was the hardest desision in my life but as Mr. Dostoevsky had said: "Any doctrine on the Earth does not cost one tear of a kid." I did that as a man and so religion is on the tenth place after Russia and my nearest and dearest. Is this reply Ok for you?
Actually it was not similar. I'll try to present some stat to explain it. "The proportion of people in Wales who define themselves 'Welsch' rather than "British' was 69% in 1981." (Richard Vinen Thatcher's Britain 2009). I assume, that the situation is similar in England nowadays and that is why I asked you that question after your freiquent confessions in Britishness.
On the other hand, most people in Central Asia in XIX century replied "Muslim" on the question about their nationality.
Well, it looks like I cast pearl... Continue playing fool.
Thank you for your 'imagine' that the majority of English view them as English and not British. I can assure you from personal experience that most English people view themselves as both British and English. Indeed, most would wonder at the question - and would say it is obvious that every English person is also British.
But I also note, and do so politely, that you have yet again avoided the direct question posed to you.
As you say you are now a Muslim, are you a Muslim first or a Russian first?
As for what Nineteenth century Central Europeans may have answered to a survey - I have no way of answering or countering this view of yours. I know now though, there is no country called 'Muslim' or nationality labelled 'Muslim'. There is a religion called Islam and there are Muslims living in pretty much every country in the world. I live in the 21st century.
Anecdotal evidence and personal experience against acurate stat. Sorry I cannot accept that. It appears that I am not Muzlim enough and probably I am too Greek and it's incompatible with my current belief. I'm sorry about that. I will work on it.
As for your the question, I cannot add more "religion is on the tenth place after Russia and my nearest and dearest".
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and that you don't accept my view. Fair enough.
I also thank you for answering the question - you are Russian first and Muslim 10th. To me I am British, English, a Father and a Muslim to the same extent. Vive la Difference!
