He’s right. The recommendations are, as he says, profoundly wrong-headed. Whether they’re church-goers or not, people in this country do, on the whole, cleave to Christian tradition – and frankly the alternative we are faced with is unthinkable. (The introduction of atheism into this muddies the waters and is just silly. That isn’t what it’s about).
//As Christian poet GK Chesterton said, when people cease to believe in the God of the New Testament, they don’t believe in nothing. They believe in everything.//
That is often quoted, but I have no idea why. It’s the daftest thing I’ve ever read.
