    According to his profile Theo is a postmodern theologian. Either would justify utterly abstruse incomprehensibility on his part. Yet what he says is quite comprehensible and reasonable.

    And then he says:

    “What do we have in common as a nation? Not a religion, but a secular faith: secular liberalism. A party that dares to say this, and so to provoke the wrath of various clerics…”

    Oh dear. I should think that calling liberalism a faith is precisely the sort of thing that would make it appeal only to agnostics, and utterly horrify believers and atheists alike.

    Damn, I need a read my own stuff.  I wrote defiantly instead of definitely. My bad.  Edit made.

    Yes, like you Joe i\’m uncomfortable with calling liberalism a faith. Still, the argument he puts forwards is very interesting. I wonder if the Lib Dems have actually considered this.  Well, I will find out by writing to them. I shall report back soon.

    Found out ages ago that the Lib Dems do have seperation of Church and State in their manifesto.
