How on earth do you come up with a suggestion like that? The Church of England only exists because of King Henry VIII. Prior to that the Church of Rome (i.e. the Catholic Church) was paramount.
Upon what basis do you make the statement that the Catholic Church may not be a true Christian religion?

p.s. I hold no truck with gods - I don't bother them and I expect them to exercise the same discretion towards me.

A lot of the text sounds like a direct condemnation of the Catholic Church. Which is probably well-deserved. IMO, the Catholic Church may not be a true Christian religion - at least their past does not indicate so.
I think some of the other stuff quoted against the Bible (and Jesus's divinity) was more due to misinformation, or lack of research (possibly due to the timeframe).
