Channel 4 is doing its bit for religious diversity and controversy by broadcasting “Root of All Evil?”, a two part documentary on the evils of religion fronted by British Humanist Association vice-president Richard Dawkins, on the evenings of 9th and 16th January.
Hanne Stinson, Executive Director of the BHA says: “Richard Dawkins is always a stimulating speaker, and a very popular one amongst humanists. He is also often very challenging, even to some humanists. I think most humanists believe that religion, particularly of the fundamentalist variety, is a source of some evils, but not all, and I look forward to hearing his conclusions.”
