Name | William Heron |
---|---|
Statement | I grew up in a council estate in Northern Ireland in the 1970s and 80s surrounded by religious nutters. I had some very good friends who became terrorists in their mid to late teens. I believe the monotheistic religions of Islam, Judaism, and Christianity are inherently evil. I left NI in my early twenties and moved to London and found an escape from the religious insanity of my youth. I realised the England was going down the same road as NI and left after 23 years to live in a country where religion is barely tolerated. I gained the same sense of relief moving to Vietnam as I did when I first moved to London. I have a young son and due to the intollerance religion displays I feel Europe is not a suitable place to bring up children. |
