Religion still pervades the BBC more than 80 years after Lord Reith imposed his strict Presbyterian convictions on the new enterprise. That it should still have a Religion & Ethics department is an anachronism. As far as I know the BBC doesn’t have a Food department but still manages to make a huge number of programmes on the subject.
Religion & Ethics is part of the BBC's Factual & Learning Division; Religion FACTUAL!!!! If the BBC insists on having a department that includes religion it should be honest and call it the Department of Myth and Magic and leave the important issue of Ethics to fend for itself.
