There are odds and bobs fragments of painted walls in a few churches but those in Pickering Church, Yorkshire, are a reminder of what it must have been like all across the land and the power such paintings, and the priesthood, had on the poor.


Very fine indeed, the Pickering paintings. It's always great to find a church with any surviving ones at all, and these are amongst the best that I've ever seen. For a complete atheist, I do like a nice church. Which begs the question, were there any atheists in prehistoric times (I mean once a pantheon of god or gods had been formulated)? Or did everyone "believe"? I bet there were atheists, but once religion becomes organised rather than a matter of personal beliefs, atheism becomes much more difficult to talk about without getting your head cut off by the more fervent.
