An extrapolation too far

The Torygraph proclaims Britain a ‘Catholic country’:

A survey of 37,000 churches, to be published in the new year, shows the number of people going to Sunday Mass in England last year averaged 861,000, compared with 852,000 Anglicans ­worshipping.

861,000 + 852,000 = 1,713,000

50,714,000* - 1,713,000 = 49,001,000

Presumably the rest of us are dark matter.

    I don’t know a single soul who goes to church.

    I choose that to be the case.

    Even if I didn’t choose it so — it would still be difficult to hunt the fuckers down — like hen’s teeth they are.
