(1) Even if I really believed -- which I don't! -- that 98.07% of British men enjoy having sex with other men, I would hope it should be rather obvious by now that I don't personally consider it insulting to suggest that a person is homosexual -- for the same reason that you wouldn't consider it insulting if I said that 98.07% of British men are secretly Swedish.
(2) In any case, it was a joke -- the point being that to make guesses about a man's religion because his name is "David Goulding" is as ridiculous as making guesses about a man's sexual orientation because he's British.
PS Of course, there ARE names -- or forms of names -- that are particularly associated with one religion or another -- a Christian boy is unlikely to be named "Shlomo", a Jewish boy is unlikely to be named "Christopher", and neither of these boys is likely to be named "Muhammad"! However, neither "David" nor "Goulding" happens to be one of those names that are strongly linked to a particular faith, at least in English.

), and frankly speaking I never felt like trusting it before. But I do not trust the Russian government either. Since there were obvious events when our government lied us (thank Parliament Elections 2012, with 146% for United Russia shown in state TV - I saw it myslef; thank "Время" TV programme which kept silence when the Net was full of pictures of mass protests in Moscow).
