		<description><![CDATA[The religious have long claimed Albert Einstein as one of their own. It&#8217;s always been a lie, and now there is further proof.
Einstein did have an unfortunate habit of using the word &#8216;god&#8217;. It has always been clear - not least from Einstein&#8217;s own writings - that his definition of &#8216;god&#8217; was more in line [...]]]></description>

This random and sporadic series of posts will look at some of the most popular.

There is a famous and oft-quoted text that reads:
In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn&#8217;t speak [...]]]></description>

According to The Guardian, Blair will be delivering a lecture at Westminster Abbey where he will say that &#8220;failure to engage with religious [...]]]></description>
