I've realised that most of my friends are religious. This trend is increasing, whilst I have lots of non-religious friends from school and my undergraduate degree almost all of the friends I've made since I started my graduate studies have been religious, and that isn't just because J soc is the main place I meet new people because my main new college friends are religious too. I seem to be increasingly attracted to religious people (good job I'm marrying a (hopefully) future vicar). I'm not sure why this is. I think religious people have this something about them, a concern for something bigger than themselves, a skepticism about untamed individualism, and a belief that the first thing to make the world a better place is to try to not be a arsehole themselves. There are non-religious folk who have these qualities* and I'm sure there are plenty of religious people who lack them. Hmm, I'm not sure.

*feanelwa jumps to mind but she's started going to the UU church so I'm not sure if she counts anymore.
