I AM glad that Rory Mulvihill has spoken out against Christians who try to foist their opinions on what is, in my opinion, the majority of people living in Britain today (Letters, April 15).

That is, people who have no religious faith in what would be considered the traditional sense.

How dare Dick Rollinson (Letters, April 11) assume that because someone is an atheist or a humanist that they are less moral than himself and his "church-going cronies" to paraphrase his words?

I object most strongly to his attitude towards people that do not share his views. Do his opinions stretch to people of other faiths, or does he reserve his wrath only for those who regard religion of any sort as "the opium of the people"?

I have no objection to people worshipping (preferably in private) in whatever way they please. But they should realise that for most people, the concept of resurrection is beyond rational belief.
