From the BBC:
The Archbishop of Westminster has urged Christians to treat atheists and agnostics with "deep esteem".
Believers may be partly responsible for the decline in faith by losing sense of the mystery and treating God as a "fact in the world", he said in a lecture.
Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor called for more understanding and appreciation between believers and non-believers.
The leader of Roman Catholics in England and Wales said that a "hidden God" was active in everyone's life.
The Cardinal's lecture at Westminster Cathedral comes after a spate of public clashes over issues such as stem-cell research, gay adoption and faith schools.
Clearly he's been reading my blog! It's also good to see an understanding that religion may not be pure fact from a Cardinal and not atheist's which makes it a bit hypocritical. Living in the UK I have not meet a lack of an understanding to lack of faith, however in the USA atheist are some of the most untrusted people in society. However this article is the same old, A Cardinal moaning because Britain is becoming "too secular" and that there is "an increasing acceptance" of anti-religious views. Personally I believe this anti-religious views are fueled by the backward nature of the Church, It appose Stem Cell research that could help people with devastating diseases, and still believes that god created the earth in 6 days .You can read the rest of the article at BBC News here
