The BBC is driving religion to the margins, according to the broadcaster Simon Mayo who will replace Chris Evans as the voice of Radio 2’s Drivetime show.
Let’s face it the BBC detest Christianity, unless of course it can report on a juicy scandal.
In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Mayo expressed concern at the way issues surrounding religious belief were treated by the Corporation.
Mayo, who has joined The Telegraph as a columnist said: “I’ve just listened to David Tennant on Desert Island Discs. His father was a minister and that was seen to be a problem [by Kirsty Young, presenter]. Religion is increasingly driven to the margin.
“I was listening to a BBC news bulletin during Easter 2008 about services to mark “the rebirth of Christ”, “a line clearly written by someone who had no contact with or understanding of the concept of resurrection.
“My brother works for the BBC religious affairs unit and told him I couldn’t believe it.”
