“This is the most special, most wonderful day. So wonderful that it is regarded as special by those of all faiths and those of none.”So said my parish priest, Fr Nigel Williams, in his Christmas Eucharist sermon this morning.
And it would appear that he is right. Britain’s arch-atheist, Professor Richard Dawkins, of The God Delusion fame, recently announced that he is a “cultural Christian” who enjoys “singing carols along with everybody else.”
I hope that the professor thoroughly enjoys his cultural Christmas Day.
