	Actually, most don't give it that much importance:  it's
just that you're more likely to here someone describe themselves as
an atheist, agnostic, etc. in discussions about religious literature.
	Some are fascinated by religious literature, but then
educated Englishmen of the 18th and 19th centuries were fascinated
by Graeco-Roman mythology.
