Attack of the Theocrats!
It is hilarious isn't it?
I can't believe the ABofC is not intelligent enough to see the irony. There he is, in a particularly outrageous gold and white get-up with an equally ridiculous hat, stating that others (in this case politicians) might see faith as being an eccentricity practiced by oddities!
When I saw this on the BBC news, I wondered whether the Archbishop, who seems like a rather sweet, kind man, if a little naive and confused, doesn't look around himself at religious gatherings and wonder exactly what planet he has landed on. Perhaps his whole statement is a projection of his own attitude to faith and religion?
