A former British Broadcasting Corporation executive is charging that the organization is exhibiting "Christophobia," an "inherent antagonism" to Christianity.
The U.K.'s Christian Institute noted the comments from Robin Aitken, who worked at the BBC for 25 years and published a book in 2018 accusing the broadcaster of abandoning its Christian heritage.
Aitken wrote April 1 in The Telegraph of London that Easter in 2021 for many is "a public holiday stripped of its religious significance."
"If they dig deep enough they should conclude that part of the answer to those questions lies with the way our broadcasters treat religion," he wrote.
"We now live in an era in which the mass media, for better or worse, shapes our public morality,"
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
