You could have got a firestick for around £50 which would have given you sky sports and BT too!

£47 for a 12 months subscription is a good price as most people I know pay over £60

I was surprised tbh. Got it when I was in Greece and it cost €60? Thought it’d be £60 by now.

It’s pretty stable, too. No porn, though!

If religion is dominant in a countries culture and rules, that's one less place I'll be visiting.

Good Lord, pun intended, that's pretty much everywhere, including where you live (regardless of the spiel about separation of church).  Nearly all the big laws derive from some sort of religious background/morality, and I say that as as Atheist.

Examples?

What, which Countries?  England was ruled by a King who was ordained by God, of the Catholic Church, before switching it up a bit and creating it's own.  We then paraded around the world to help the natives find Christ (in return all we asked for was their natural resources) - lots of Africa now has pretty Evangelical leanings as a result.  Our laws come from the good book - the one the peasants were not allowed to learn to read and was kept in French for a while to ensure that (see the 10 Commandments).  Marriage, as Westerners understand it, came from religion before morphing into a contractual relationship now allowed by same sex and those who don't fancy doing it in a church.

Some European Countries have moved away from Religious influence to a degree, but most of Western Society stems from Christianity originally.  South America had the Spanish convert them, America is still very heavily influenced by Christian faiths (people are genuinely shocked when I tell them I do not go to Church, and the hot topic of the Country, after Trump, is Abortion Rights which are heavily smeared in religious doctrine).  Most of the Arabian Countries are heavily Muslim, India is moving much more towards National Hinduism, and so on.  Nearly all great conquests come from Religious beliefs - Hitler being an anomaly (and we'd rather his world view didn't take hold).

I have no time for Religion, but it's still very much the primary influence of culture and laws in most of the world.

Good reply. Although I did say dominates not founded. Times are different now in most countries but some are still very strict, based on religion.
I'm not religious either. Blind faith and all that.
