Just found this, poking around online for non-theistic sites. I'm
not what you might call an atheist, and I'm not in the UK. Born and
still in Massachusetts, but love how the internet allows global
community.

My current best understanding of the faith phenom is that we are
stuck with it. It appears that we all inherit some degree of pre-
disposition for "spirituality" or "religiosity", or something to
that effect that I haven't found a better term for yet. It makes
abundent sense that this inheritable ability evolved. It seems
reasonable that our various cultures have taken this ability and
evolved all the various adaptation of it, all our myriad of faiths.
In my view, they were just doing the best they could with the
information they had at the time. I don't see them devolving
anytime soon.

Over time, I expect scientific understanding will out-compete all
these other theories (faiths).
