Look in a mirror, MA.

Either way, he’s an obnoxious character.

Though quite if there is a definitive conclusion as to what role religion played in Mr Blair’s decisions is still not clear, if even able to be proved, one way or the other.

You know, you don’t have to have a religious "faith" to believe in a course of action being the "right thing" to do. For example, I share Mr Blair’s views that Kosovo, Sierra Leone AND Iraq were the "right things to do" and yet God and I long ago lost each other along life’s journey.

As I see it the main weakness that we in Britain have in not talking about religion is that we think ALL religions are like our Judaeo/Christian heritage - and fairly innocuous, innocent and personal. Certainly NOT threatening in our British and European societies.

And that blindfold we insist on wearing means that there is a growing threat to western (secular) societies, whether we as individuals, politicians or voting public wear religion on our sleeves or not.

Some in our midst use religion as a pretext for politics, and still we welcome them in the fervent hope and expectation that given time they will adapt and adopt our secular/religious approach to others: secularism in action.

Perhaps that is why Mr Blair has raised the profile on faith and belief. In order that others might do the same. Not sure if it will work. But I certainly hope it does.
