I respect Tony Benn as a socialist. I have always wondered why he is a christian. Watching this I think it is clear that he Likes the nicey bits of religion, Blocks out the bad bits and clearly will not admit to a belief in " god ".
Disappointing.
But also disappointing is the biased interviewing.
This is an example of the hostile media response to progressive politics ( I include atheism ) and why I have my doubts about the wisdom of advertising atheism on buses.
HuhA man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
