Authorities?

A pastor isn't much of an authority, is he? I'm from the UK, so the religious are seen more as kooks.

The UK has a national church.

You have a national religion.

Not all of your religious are seen as kooks

I suppose my meaning is the "strongly religious" - as in the ones who include it as part of their identity - are seen as kooks.

The King is pretty strongly religious and sees it as a core part of his identity

And he's a kook.

Always has been.
