And I am saddened at the moment that so much of, I think, identity politics has become so political, all this stuff.

It's become divisive rather than bringing people together.

And like for me, how I kind of started to swing towards the centre with being agnostic is I was like, hang on a minute, because I was arguing with someone that was like religious and I've been on both sides where I've been religious and arguing with someone that wasn't.

And I realised we're the same.

Any...

in any debate, when you are at the polar ends, you are the same dogmatic idiot.

What is reasonable is when you meet in the middle, because if one thing can't be proven and one can't be, you can't, if one person can't prove there's a God and one can't prove there isn't a God, you cannot be anything but me in the middle.

and actually tolerate each other's views.

That is the answer to everything.

It's tolerance.

It's not actually having to adopt each other's beliefs.

It's actually just finding a way to receive to that person

that is their truth and that you have to accept that that is good enough because we'll never be the same.

There are cultures that have lived with religions for the entire history of their, you know, culture.

It's very disrespectful for us to suddenly just go,

that's rubbish, you shouldn't believe in that, that's wrong.

It's going to take an eon for them to get to a place that's different, a different way of thinking.

And I think that impatience is it's not right.

Like you need to actually find a way to meet in the middle and tolerate and just keep trying to –

mould each other in the right way.
