A response to the BBC’s Thought for the Day. You don’t have to be a believer to enjoy a day of rest.

Brother Dominique offers a droll, subversive, and erudite deconstruction of the history of religion in Europe, complete with visual aids and pop culture references. Had me hooked, as much for the persona of Brother Dominique as anything else – he’s a natural television presenter. Best explanation I’ve ever heard of how the religious landscape of Europe evolved.
