An interesting history, it may interest US members especially who would like to know about life in countries where the separation of church and state is not the law. Great speaker but no visuals worth watching, so why not set it to run on a speaker and just enjoy.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I remember hearing. of the spat between Alice and her mother, and reading Peter Hitchens’ diatribe against Alice’s position re education. The Tories have expanded the number of faith schools, and I understand why parents sometimes have no real choice but to send their children to them, and even pretend to be churchgoers to get their children into them. The whole idea of schools run by religions is an anachronism in 21st century irreligious Britain, and they should be wholly secular. Bishops sitting in the second chamber, should likewise be abolished.

I found this to be very informative, and will post it in the local HumanistMN Meetup group.

After living and working on three continents, money has more to do with how ones morals and ethics are used and set forth!!!
As in any country wealth dictates the moral and ethical stance of the country!!!

Morals without religion is actually redundant. The problem is that bible believers think their OT tribal god who was jealous and killed people is the one who gave them morals. Somehow they attribute this to the Ten Commandments. Exactly where is it in there that this god gave you morals or even a "moral compass" as so many talk about? I studied for the ministry as a Pentecostal and I cannot find it. Your morals are largely dictated by the structure of your society.

We already have religion without morals and believers without brains, so why not morals without religion.?

IMO, it would more fair/accurate to say that if religious folks act against morals, that it does not necessarily mean they are "without morals".
@FearlessFly Only their version of what "moral" means. They are insane and immoral.
@FearlessFly Their "holy books" are immoral, believers who try to justify such shit are also immoral.
@nogod4me Logical fallacies are not the way to promote ANY argument.
@FearlessFly No argument, just stating the fact. I'm sure there are some believers who can act morally. I wonder if they would accept reality and facts over their beliefs.
