Interesting interview as always but, speaking as an agnostic, be it religion or political ideology whatever they might be, either might be worthy of respect and consideration, but both should also always be wide open to the process of permanent questioning.
The problem, invariably, is that neither often are as they both are liable to be hijacked by the apparently most zealous, frequently most opportunistic, often most charismatic, intelligent members of their followers and, unfortunately, for less than pure reasons.
In short they become nothing more than a cynical means of control.
Whilst I can buy into the, 'we ultimately all need a rock to cling to in our lives' argument, it always comes with certain, very firm caveats.
