Terry Sanderson, President of the National Secular Society, commented: There is no doubt that the changing demographics of the UK — starkly shown in the 2011 Census — mean that the BBCs focus on Christianity is completely out of proportion. Our arguments about Thought for the Day have been frequently rehearsed and have the support even of the presenters of the Today programme, John Humphreys and Evan Davis. We simply cannot understand why the BBC resists this small change that would prove that it is serious about proper representation of all opinions on the airwaves. Mr Sanderson said he was disappointed with the report which simply seemed to accept that to devote such a large amount of the of the BBCs resources to religious programming was legitimate. All the independent research shows that the number of people interested in religion in this country is very small. Why does the BBC put such an enormous focus on it?
