Please keep up the good work! As a back-slidden atheist it never troubled me that the programme should be aired. As a percentage of total air time during the week it's content is absolutely minimal. Be blessed, Steve & Debs Praise God for ‘Thought for the Day’

In the 18th century they were imprisoned. Atheistic material was made illegal. It was pretty much the same elsewhere in Europe. No wonder these religions have survived so long; they censored, imprisoned and slaughtered any opposition. I wonder if they wear black uniforms and Christian swastikas over at the BBC? “Their authority is drawn from faiths that have survived the centuries, including periods of persecution and intense scrutiny and still proved themselves valid.”
