From Albert Lightfoot
The trinity of theism, non-theism and strong atheism by which Jonathan Lanman classifies religious belief and non-belief (26 March, p 38) seems a good description of affluent western Judaeo-Christian society. But what about the rest of the planet?
What conclusions about the origins of belief or non-belief can be drawn when viewed from the perspective of other societies, particularly those based on Buddhism, Islam and Hinduism?
