Rejecting fairy stories as true isn't bigotry, it's enlightened thinking. To engage in religious ceremonies and faith based activity but to consider yourself above literal belief seems odd to me. You don't need to practice any of it whilst kneeling at a pew, it's outside of the building where claiming to live by a creed is held to scrutiny. I take it Joe Offer is one of the good guys in life. I thank Joe for that, not the pope, not his line manager.

Questioning the malign influence of organised religion in the lives of people isn't bigotry, it's questioning bigotry.

If social justice is a tenet of said religion, it's for those spouting it to deal with the misogyny, homophobia and bigotry, not rational onlookers.

You do have a habit of interchanging your personal creed with the organisation that dictates it, Joe.

Show me a photo of the old bloke with the white beard, show me evidence of just one, any will do, of the miracles they get excited about in The Vatican or even show me where he was hiding when I used to inspect childrens' hospices and I'll concede your phrase "valid perspectives."
