("Atheists," you'll be happy to know, is spelled correctly in the article.) It's by Francis Spufford, a countryman of yours--you may even know of him. His book "Unapologetic" was just released in the U.S. From several excerpts I've read various places on the Web and this piece in the Guardian, it looks to be an informal, highly personal defense of Christianity (Anglican flavor). I'm tempted to buy it. See what you think.
