Dear sir, I have realized from the many questions and answers here that you are an atheist and have a lot of scorn for religion. However, I have also gathered from the answers given, that you are aware of some of the positive consequences of religion/belief. While I may or may not agree with your views, I am a bit disappointed that you most times portray religious characters so negatively, when you seem to strive to be fair to other characters in your novels (the real ones, at least). In the Saxon novels, for example, while I realize that the story is told from the viewpoint of the pagan Uhtred, almost every Christian person is portrayed as either borderline crazy fanatics, stupid, selfish, cynical, plain evil or a combination. This is grossly unfair to the Christian people, priests, nuns and monks who did do a lot of good and who did care for their neighbours. So my question is this: Why not include a comment about this in the historical note at the end of each book? You did put in such a comment for example concerning Æthelred, who you admit to portraying unfairly in your books. Why not do the same regarding the priests and monks who appear frequently in your writing? Finally, I would like to thank you not only for all the great books, but for taking the time to answer people’s questions here, the vast numbers of which impress me greatly – particularly seeing as you are such a hugely productive writer. This shows that you appreciate your many fans! Have a nice day! -Yngve-
