The Guardian: Faith and the hostility it inspires

The Guardian today has a long article, entitled simply [Faith](http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0,,2021296,00.html), about religion and the heated debates it has recently provoked in the UK. Discussed are the usual matters of faith schooling, creationism and the anger provoked by the likes of *The Satanic Verses* and *Jerry Springer: the Opera*, and whether the fervently anti-religious are just as intolerant as the most extreme of religious people. (See [this earlier entry](https://www.blogistan.co.uk/blog/mt.php/2005/02/09/of_daemons_evolution_and_intol) for an example of secularist intolerance.)
