Letter: Doubt for the Day
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Angela Lambert's appeal for some proper old-time religion on the radio ('In the name of God, No]', 15 June) will be supported by many listeners, whether religious or not, who are sickened by the pap broadcast not only in the Thought for the Day on Radio 4 but also in the Words of Faith on the World Service. (To be fair, there is the earlier Prayer for the Day on Radio 4.)
But there should also be some proper non-religious or even anti-
religious radio for the third of the population who don't believe in God. What about some thoughts for the day which are atheistic as well as theistic, and some words of doubt as well as faith? When will the BBC serve all its listeners?
