MILITANT ATHEISTS AND FALSE MEMORIES

William Crawley and guests debate the week's religious and ethical news and explore the world of culture and ideas. Including News.

This week, Sunday Sequence talks to Ian Elliott, the Irish Catholic Church's child protection watchdog, about the gaps that exist in the church's current guidelines. And we debate the week's big ethical stories: the militant atheist who's been convicted of religious harassment, whether "false memory syndrome" is a myth, the House of Lords' decision to permit same-sex unions in churches, and why some people have a lower life expectancy than their neighbours just a mile or two away.
