Traditional Atheism As Opposed To The Very Nasty Variety.

From: Mr J Bore, Draycott Avenue, Hornsea. Yorks Post Letters.

IN the debate on the place of Christianity in modern life in the UK, I speak as an atheist. Nevertheless, I do acknowledge the following fact. It is that all that is best in British law, British culture and British traditions, stems directly from the Christian ethics as preached by Christ.

Therefore, all the customs, celebrations and ceremonials that remind us of this fact, should be vigorously maintained. We lose these reminders at our peril.
