For the last hour I've been curled up on the sofa drinking herbal tea and watching The Root of All Evil?, Professor Richard Dawkins' exploration of religion, based round his belief that it "discourages independent thought, it's divisive and it's dangerous".
He was harangued by ultra-alpha creationist Republicans in the Bible Belt and weirdy beardies in Gaza. The Catholics at Lourdes were the politest, but they all hated him and his scientific reason.
Best line was from an American Jew-turned-Muslim (the converts are always the most hardcore) who told him all the problems with the heathens. One of them was the way he dressed his women like whores. It was the only time in the whole programme he shouted back.
I don't dress women! They dress themselves!
Say it loud: I'm an atheist and I'm proud!
