Richard Dawkins and hypocrisy

[Allan Rostron]

Was the identification of Dawkins in King's chapel correct? I watched this
programme, but didn't notice him. (Nor have I ever seen him in the stalls
of the chapel of his own Oxford College (New) on the many occasions I have
been there during a service.)
On the general theme of this thread, I agree wholeheartedly that religious
music can be a great, profound and moving experience for the unbeliever.
Presumably the composers' inspiration is intimately bound up with their
religious belief, but the effect is frequently to appeal to
whatever it is in the human soul that has to do with the higher things
(I'm lost for words here), irrespective of any belief in the supernatural
elements of religion.
