Great podcast chat on role of Religion
I assume this isn't a region-blocked thing so do enjoy. This is a fascinating and engaging discussion about the role of religion in society. Are faith schools a good thing? Is Hitch a "militant" atheist?
Have to admit I wasn't that convinced by the Catholic and the Muslim both indulging in victimhood. Evan Harris spoke a lot of sense in terms of how religion should position itself in relation to public policy. AC Grayling had some fantastic historical insights about the underlying philosophy. The Labour guy struck me as a PC nut.
