Not too much ambiguity there... But just so that this doesn't turn into a religious debate (since the Downs is not the place for it), I won't go any further but will add a reminder: In the saloons and pubs in western US of the late 1800s, it was not uncommon to see on the list of rules (among things like No Guns, No Cheating, No Cussing) it would say "No discussion of Politics or Religion" because it almost always erupted into a fight. Not saying that that would happen here, but its still a sensitive subject.
