Bates glad he’s no longer a religious war correspondent

Recently Stephen Bates concluded a seven year tour of duty as the religion correspondent for the Guardian. He returned to civilian service having lost his faith. Religious folks, he found, can be rather nasty. One excerpt:

Only a week or so ago, a US blogger was remarking charitably that it wasn’t worth expending a bullet on the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church, who is the first woman to lead a major Christian denomination. The blogger, incidentally, was herself a woman.

Read it all in the December issue of the New Humanist. Thanks to Thinking Anglicans for the pointer.
