MATTHEW Clarke's letter (You Say, July 2) beggars belief. Does he not have the wit to see that through history such religious bigotry has been Man's great undoing?

Even now, we have to look no further than Northern Ireland, the Middle East and the Balkans to see just what attitudes like his do.

There's no place for this attitude in the world of today.

People must be judged on how they live and what they bring to human society as a whole, irrespective of religion, or, for that matter, any other group distinction they may have.
