Brian A Jones certainly has a simplistic and warped view of religion (Letters, August 2).
He uses the examples of child abuse and terrorism, carried out by a few individuals, as a reason for attacking religion as a whole.
Most people of faith are working towards making the world a better place, both through the peace movement and religious charities such as CAFOD, Christian Aid and Muslim Aid.
The last thing we should be doing is fanning the flames of hatred by giving in to prejudice, bigotry and stereotyping people based on their faith.
