Archbishop Takes On Critics of Religion

BBC: The Archbishop of Canterbury has used a university lecture to hit back at people who criticise religion.

Dr Rowan Williams said many worshippers would not recognise their religion as described by some authors.

Dr Williams said: "When believers pick up Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens, we may feel as we turn the pages 'this is not it'."

The archbishop gave his lecture to more than 1,000 people at the Taliesin Arts Centre, in Swansea. Archbishop answers faith critics (more)
