The Brexit Video



Belief that Brexit is a good thing requires the same kind of suspension of reason & logic as does religion.

The problem with religion . . . .

"Religions are drivers of sectarianism, multipliers of conflict, proponents of fossilised ethics and a fear-and-favour, sanction-driven moral authoritarianism. They distort our moral scale, producing harm where there need be none; uniquely divisive because of their great importance and extra-human reference points."

Aphrodite vs. Jesus





"By almost any standards, apart from the macabre and gloomy ones of Puritan sensibility, an Aphrodite emerging from the Paphian foam is infinitely more life-enhancing an emblem than a gloomy Deposition from the Cross."

Steve Weinberg on God.

Religion is not the source of morality


RE Melanie McDonagh’s article [Comment, June 1], any school that promotes values as uniquely “Christian” is giving their pupils a skewed and very poor understanding of ethics.

For too long we have ring-fenced religious ideas for privileged treatment in schools giving pupils the misleading impression that moral questions always need to be considered through a religious prism. They do not.

Replacing religious education with philosophy and ethics would enable future generations to take a more objective and religiously neutral approach to the consideration of moral and ethical issues.

Young people could still be taught about Christianity and other religious beliefs but not at the expense of all other ways of understanding the world in which they live.
