VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|HarryR|DATE|1359757097|CONTENT|I infer that the claim in the catholic leaning Telegraph that the BBC&#039;s religious programming quells the lust of the body politic for a British theocracy is driven by a wish to assert some credibility for religion. 

Much more likely is that the BBC&#039;s secular output and mission to inform would stymie the ability of a British equivalent of Fox News to lead people to the dark side under the guise of religious righteousness. How would the likes of Bill O&#039;Reilly, Sean Hannity and their ilk survive a simple conversation with a Newsnight presenter or an audience on Question Time?|IP-ADDRESS|78.33.218.131|MODERATIONFLAG|
