Sir – I’m finding some of the atheist vs. believer debates in these columns rather polarised and dogmatic.
An atheist friend of mind once derided the spiritual, and then proceeded to describe his wonder at the vastness of the universe, the fathomlessness of scientific discovery, and the intricacies of living organisms. I replied “that sounds pretty spiritual to me”.
I suspect that God is far bigger and more fluid than the boxes we are so fond of putting her in. I also think that she is quite capable of reaching people in a personal way.
