Being a rather rude and sweary atheist
I feel that it is most unfair that one cannot become a vicar, however our glorious friends on the other side of the pond have the answer to this.

For a mere $35, one can be ordained over the internet. Once paid up, your Vicar ID card and Ordination certificate arrives in the post a couple of weeks later.

A friend was also ordained in this manner, I call him Padre and he calls me Sister Sweary. Oh how we laugh. If God were to Exist, I am sure that it would see the funny side.

(On a serious note for other atheists here, do please check out The British Humanist Society. They are currently campaigning to get religion out of schools. It is a hard fight and will take many years, but knowing that some schools still want to teach intelligent design and creationism makes my blood boil! www.humanism.org.uk/home )

I think Religious Studies still need to be taught in schools, so you can learn about the religions themselves.
Creationism being taught can fuck off though.
