Most people don't want truth.  They want comfort.

Thank you Sir.  I am in rural Australia and I love Stephen Fry because he uses his own mind to discover the world and will NOT be bullied by the religious of his society.  All power to you.

"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful."- (attributed to) Seneca

God didn't create man; Man created God.

Saying “I don’t know” is far more honest than saying “I don’t know, so God did it”.

My problem is people force their relegion on their children.Children should not be allowed to sign up to any religion(or be forcer,or persuaded to).It should be not allowed until they are old enough to vote.

"When one person is delusional, it's called insanity. When many people are delusional, they call it religion." --Richard Dawkins

Raised Anglican by adoptive parents who simply cherished the good in faith. They, and I, found great friendships through Church. Don't think I ever really believed and in my fifties now, do not believe. My teen daughters were raised without religion and as caring, loving young women, they don't lack the community conscience needed to contribute to society. Religion isn't needed for that personal attribute.

We need fewer ‘gods’ and much more goodness

"Science asks questions that may never be answered. Religion gives answers that may never be questioned."

If there is a god, "that's a big if" and it had the nature of Stephen Fry,
bet we would not be in this mess!

I don’t feel full of sin and I try to live hurting no one.

Without religion the world would be a much better place for us all

It takes a special type of person to be as posh, privileged and educated as this man yet still be so connected to and loved by the common man.
I could listen to him chat for hours on end.

George Carlin said it best;
At the worst, god is a sadist and at best  god is an absentee landlord.

"Religion was invented when the first con man met the first fool."
-- Mark Twain

Refreshing to listen to an intelligent conversation, very encouraging to hear that others, including Stephen Fry; think the same as l. Thank you

"He works in mysterious ways.", has to be my favorite diversion when Christians are asked why God is so cruel.

If you feel like you have to know something you don’t know, you
(A) take a short cut and claim to know what you don’t know.
(B) join in the hard, multi-generational project of  working toward understanding.
(C) admit that you don’t know and you get on with the rest of your life.

B and C are honorable options.
