There's loads to teach... the arguments of Richard Dawkins, Ludovic Kennedy, Sam Harris etc. The ideas behind Humanism. Evolution vs Creative Design.

Good point

Creative design? Was this the one where some religous folk realised creationism was 'plums' and made up something to suit themselves?

I'm afraid he does believe in God an his spiritual advisor in what is known as the white Taliban. I've seen him interviewed on T.V and he is a scary zealot. So the most powerful man on earth is a religious nutter and takes advise on foriegn policy from a religious nutter! After all Bush was quoted as saying that GOD told him in invade Iraq, scary eh!

By the way I am very tolerent of GOD botheres as long as they don't shove it down my neck. My wifes family are religious nutters, my wife and I think they are all barmy and are away with the fairies but that's up to them!!!
