Blair 'to devote life to faith'

Former prime minister Tony Blair has promised to "spend the rest of my life" uniting the world's religions. He said faith could be a "civilising force in globalisation", bringing people together to solve problems such as malaria and extreme poverty.

Mr Blair, who is now a peace envoy to the Middle East, told Time magazine that religious belief had given him "strength" while in power. He is launching a "faith foundation" in New York on Friday.

Mr Blair, who recently converted to Catholicism, said: "Faith is part of our future, and faith and the values it brings with it are an essential part of making globalisation work."

So far the history of the world is a continuous saga of wars and destruction, more frequently brought about by waring religions, or shall we call the superstitions, than anything else. Even the latest war Blair took this country into, against Iraq, was called a Crusade by George Bush. I don't think that this was an accident, I think this deluded nincompoop actual thought that he was fighting a religious war, and our lap dog of a PM followed him. It's about time some one tried to sort the world out based on logical, humanist reasoning, without resorting to "magic".
