Just about anything the Queen of England says in public will find it's way into the news, but this story reported in The Guardian is blockbuster. The Queen, head of the Church of England, told the world that both believers and atheists are equally able to "contribute to country's prosperity." Read the story here, Religious do not have monopoly on virtue, Queen tells synod.
The money phrase...
“In our more diverse and secular society, the place of religion has come to be a matter of lively discussion. It is rightly acknowledged that people of faith have no monopoly of virtue and that the wellbeing and prosperity of the nation depend on the contribution of individuals and groups of all faiths and none.”
Religious extremists in this country and others could take a lesson from Queen Elizabeth ...
... but they won't.

hell no they won't
We should be so lucky... sigh...
The irony is that there is one official religion of England and the Queen is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England and Defender of the Faith.
It probably requires a lot of confidence to avoid condemning everyone who doesn't agree with you.
