Mary Hynes of CBC Radio One’s Tapestry talks to Richard F. Holloway, the former Bishop of Edinburgh for the Scottish Episcopal Church. Holloway’s progressive views caused him to resign from his position in 2000, especially in light of his 1999 book, Godless Morality: Keeping Religion out of Ethics, which makes a very convincing argument that religion often interferes with human impulses towards love and compassion. Holloway now is what most people might call an athiest, but he himself uses the term “after-religionist”.
