    BLIND FAITH is not Religion is in deed Most Dangerous ! ...Faith here functions variously as a source of comfort, solace and reflection, a prelude to eternity, a readying for the hereafter, a guide to this world and a hope for the next, part theology, part tea-and-cakes community, part fund-raising fetes for the bell tower, combining habit, ritual and belief in variable quantities. But it is not a home for extremes.

    The columnist David Aaronovitch, who defined himself in a recent article as part Jewish by birth, atheist by conviction but Anglican by “aesthetic sympathy,” wrote in The Jewish Chronicle that the Church of England was “full of doubt and uncertainty and it’s clear that faiths — religious or not — are most dangerous when they are most certain.”

    “Blind faith is the enemy,” he said, “not religion” — a view that congregants in that chill side-chapel in north London would most likely have supported, too.
