I'd say the viking way of doing things is redundant seeing as quite a few changed religion over the years..
Any belief system can become redundant not just Atheism as you harp on about but because people like to use violence as an answer to anything slightly uncomfortable the religions that suggest and condone violence will always prevail.
As a mother who has given her children no religion (purely because I do not agree with what they stand for) I'd prefer that to them believing violence is the answer.
As for your comment about if we had a combatant warfare state we'd have border control. Rubbish, it's nothing to do with religion, it's a spineless wet government many of whom I suspect are church going people.
The Vikings got converted and swallowed up into Christian Europe and yes there was always violent clashes but generally the will of the Christian European conquered and converted the Vikings culturally even subverted them to what would of been a foreign religion . Violence is politics though doesn't matter how you view it. The state (In modern terms) controls people through threat of violence and the only way severe political change of power happens is too use violence to change the regime. The power structure also will always use violence to protect it's power from revolutionaries or dissidents
Violence and war is part of humanity though just by stating violence is not the answer it will not stop violence, war or conquest as it will always be part of human nature. Peace is desirable but War is inevitable.
Nope the government politicians a high percentage of them are childless or follow a foreign religion or are atheists the very fact a majority atheist society puts up with such a weak and corrupt political system and such cowardly politicians kind of strengthens my point. Too much tolerance and apathy within the United KIngdom whilst dynamic demographic changes occur with projections of the UK becoming a majority Islamic state in 30 years time. You will see then where your tolerant and peaceful atheism gets you when the majority ruling religion views atheists as apostates.
