"There is a widespread fear that religion is being treated as a problem to British society, best solved by airbrushing it from the public sphere."
-Stuart Jeffries, The Guardian

"We are witnessing a social phenomenon that is about fundamentalism. Atheists like the Richard Dawkins of this world are just as fundamentalist as the people setting off bombs on the tube, the hardline settlers on the West Bank and the anti-gay bigots of the Church of England. Most of them would regard each other as destined to fry in hell."
-Colin Slee, Dean of Southwark


"The study of other people's religious beliefs is now no longer merely desirable, but necessary for our very survival."
-Karen Armstrong

I'm in the Atlanta airport right now waiting to take off for London in about an hour. Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has been praying for me and shown interest in this project. Here I go!!

Also, interesting article from USA Today discussing a potential ban of the public wearing of Muslim veils in France.
