But I think the best response is the same. Rather than talking about how stupid he is (<A HREF="http://richarddawkins.net/article,1593,In-God-we-doubt,John-Humphrys-Times-Online" REL="nofollow">see the comments on this page</A>), I would gently suggest that he read listen to Julia Sweeney, and read the books I mention above (Baggini, Norman).<BR/><BR/>John Humphries is not an idiot - he's a very widely-travelled and well-informed person. He's just wrong about what nonbelief implies or leads to.Timothy Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373801153623991221noreply@blogger.com
