Here is a short British history quiz:

(1) Which British Prime Minister was described as "a man whose life reflects a genial paganism, who regarded all creeds with the impartiality of indifference, and who looked upon all religion as a local accident and as the result of hereditary influences" ... "a sceptic as regards religion"?

(2) Which bishop lamented that in England "Morality and religion have collapsed to a degree that has never been known in any Christian country"? And when?

(3) Which Prime Minister was described as follows: &quot He) appeared to have no religious status. Looking over his life, there was no sign that he was a Christian. He appeared to believe in God, but it all ends there. As far as can be deciphered, (he) showed no interest in religion until (a colleague's) conversion. But even after that, all records have shown he had no interest in God or Jesus at all."

(4) Which Prime Minister stated that 'Too much religion of any kind is a bad thing'?

(5) Which Prime Minister stated 'I believe in the ethics of Christianity. Can't believe in the mumbo-jumbo'?
