Faith and Politics

Dan Damon Dan Damon | 07:34 UK time, Wednesday, 19 March 2008

One of our comments posteers questions my assertion that monks in Burma and Tibet are inspired by their faith - it's only politics, she says.

That's not what they tell us, and is there much of a distinction anyway? Is the inspiration to freedom nothing to do with values based on faith traditions?

Does soulless biology explain it?
