Belief is not necessary, according to philosopher John Gray. In his view, political ideologies are surrogate religions, and religion itself should not be primarily a matter of belief. How, then, can society and the individual learn to do without belief? John Gray is Professor of European Thought at the London School of Economics, and the author of False Dawn: The Delusions of Global Capitalism, Straw Dogs: Thoughts on Humans and Other Animals, and Al-Qaeda and What It Means to Be Modern. Gray will be in conversation with Richard Holloway, one of the most outspoken figures in the modern church, former Bishop of Edinburgh, and Gresham Professor of Divinity in the City of London. Holloway presented his own BBC series last autumn and is the author of 23 books, the latest of which is Doubts and Loves.
