I might hope that an atheist would be as keen as anyone else to ensure that our language properly recognises traditional rank and order in Church and State
If one considers the church organisation be that CofE or Catholic as a corporate money making entity. Which I believe owns considerable estateswithin the UK as well as significant investments, in both shares and money, why should one respect any titles it bestows on its employees?
The state is supposedly under the control of its people whether you support a particular party or political stance but one has a vote to choose. One would suppose the chairman of the local bowls club should enjoy similar recognition?
However, I feel this could descend into a faith or not discussion which is something neither side will win. I do agree that text speak and general laziness has denigrated the English language which is shameful especially when one listens to the grammar used on the BBC NEWS and other news programme's.
