Margaret Atwood on religion.

Margaret Atwood is a renowned feminist author. Her book The Handmaid's Tale depicts a scenario in which the Old Testament is adopted as the founding stone of a new American totalitarian regime.

In this regime, women are forced to be handmaid's to men - they have to cook, clean and bear children, otherwise they will either be hung as dissenters or sent out into the irradiated world beyond to die slow and painful deaths.

In these three videos, Margaret gives her views on religion. I found them very profound. Enjoy them:
