George: An Introduction

Politically I am on the centre-left of British politics (or if your American "Hi I'am Stalin") and I am interested in contributing to this blog in terms of Religion and contemporary political affairs. I have my own blog which I neglected somewhat since the summer and so will be paying much more attention to this one as I am sure it will be much better anyway!

Studying Sociology (apart from getting constant grief for not doing a 'PROPER' subject) I have come to realise there is so much more than video games and pizza that can contribute to the understanding of the world and individuals within. In this sense, if I had to pick a Sociological discipline that best describes my approach to understanding, I would have to be a progressive secular modernist - its a mouth full but hey people are complex creatures.

I believe the biggest threat in the world today is right wing movements, especially those which stem from a religious background (including terrorist organisations). This is not to over inflate the issue or the danger of terrorism in anyway but more of an assessment of the conflict between secular society and religious individuals.

I too like Chris am an Atheist - I do not deny the existence of god like many descriptions of atheism would have you believe, I know there isn't one through my own research and the intensive reading of others'. I also hate intolerance which will become apparent as and when including (shock, horror) the Daily Mail!!!

That's it for now, but more to come!
