Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

Dawkins doesn't want you to think he is particularly clever (though he is); all he wants people to do is to think things out logically and rationally for themselves by examining the evidence.

The reason he is so strident about it is because he (like me and millions of others) are FED UP to the back teeth with those who assert religious privilege. By pussy-footing around the believers in case we cause offence, we prolong their unfair privilege.

Happily, I was not in the UK when Pope Ratzinger visited, so I didn't have to breathe the same air as him.
