Dawkins - and the Doctor and the art critic

Just had to blog this news item that combines a defence against secularism in art (from a non-Christian), Richard Dawkins, and Doctor Who!

The writer defends Christian art - and the Bible as literature - against attack from leading humanists such as Dawkins. He says: "we should celebrate the Christian legacy in western art and society - and stop the Dawkins army from denying us the possibility of drawing inspiration from faith to create the art of the future".

The Doctor Who angle is the news that Professor Richard Dawkins is to appear in the current series as himself. The article pointed me to Outpost Gallifrey, described as "the most popular Doctor Who fan website on the Internet and homepage of online Doctor Who fandom".
