Christianity is Finished - Declare Thatcherites

From the Telegraph
Christianity should be consigned to history because it no longer has the answers to Britain’s problems, Thatcherites claim.

In a highly sensible pre-Synod intervention which has angered clerics and prompted a response from Justin Welby, Thatcher's most senior disciples said the religious ideas embodied by The Church were “lobotomising” society and “entrenching” stupidity among everyone.

They urged Conservatives to resist the nonsense of big religion as much as that of any over-mighty state and threw their support behind efforts to bolster aetheism in religion.

The intervention came in the form of a 52-page letter from some people who aren't complete idiots.
