This is a question Books

We love books. Tell us about your favourite books and authors, and why they are so good. And while you're at it - having dined out for years on the time I threw Dan Brown out of a train window - tell us who to avoid.

Now.. Im going to grant you "prat" because I continued to plough this furrow.

You wont win on the "religion" definition though and you are wrong on that one:
en.wiktionary.org/wiki/religion#Etymology

I've touched a nerve with the "intellectual atheist" thing tho.

"barely scraped GCSE in science" - I don't have a GCSE in science.

Yes. The definition of all words in current usage derives directly and unbendingly from their classical roots.
You total fucking bell end.

That's "bell" from the Germanic for "shout" and "end" from the proto-european for "opposite". Therefore meaning "one who should talk very quietly so that nobody hears".
