“When I told the people of Northern Ireland that I was an atheist, a woman in the audience stood up and said, 'Yes, but is it the God of the Catholics or the God of the Protestants in whom you don't believe?”

Reminds me of a story in the news from about 25 years ago. A man driving through Northern Ireland was stopped by armed men. They asked him are you Catholic or Protestant? He answered...I'm an Atheist. They replied ...Atheist Catholic or Atheist Protestant?

Would it have been inappropriate to have stood up in that crowd and yelled, "GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!"?
