David's father was a minister and served as Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. I'm sure he has more knowledge because of his upbringing than the whinging zealots.
Reminds me of the debate following the release of The Life of Brian between Michael Palin and John Cleese against Roman Catholic journalist and satirist Malcolm Muggeridge and the Bishop of Southwark, Mervyn Stockwood. The Month Python guys run rings around them because the film makes fun of organised religion, not Christian beliefs. Good Omens was similar. It doesn't attack God or Christianity, it pokes fun at humanity, and at the angels and demons that have gained human traits.
