AN WILSON astutely assesses the mood of many but why, identifying the adulation as a cult, does he write of it as dwindling and becoming "as religions tend to, the preserve of children, homosexuals and lonely housewives"?
I have been involved for years in inter-faith dialogue and so have a fair understanding of other faiths. Children, homosexuals and lonely housewives are to be found in all of them - thank God they have somewhere to go - but to describe any religion as their preserve betrays a misunderstanding and bigotry of which possibly Wilson is unaware.
