The radical 'Sea of Faith' theologian who proposed "non-realist" Christianity, and religion in general, which says that God and the supernatural do not objectively exist, but that humans have a religious need and capacity, so let's practise religion without worrying about whether it's true - a position foreshadowed by Paul Tillich and JAT Robinson, amongst others. I'm a timid non-realst these days.

I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

Never quote got Cupitt or his invitation to “Solar living”. Today I find when I google that I just get websites on solar power and heating.

It would be an opportunity for you to discuss Christian atheism on this forum perhaps.

Tried that, some years ago.. All I got was laboured sarcasm from the usual suspects. Still, I might try again.
