Tina Brown joins the religiophobes

Money quote:

The prayer, so to speak, was that the new pope might miraculously turn out to be a shot in the arm not just for anti-materialism but also for anti-religious humbug, anti-medievalism and anti-repressive orthodoxy. Instead of which it looks as if we are in for more dogma closing the windows of our world -- unless he enjoys an epiphany.

That's it right there. Those in favor of "the truth of spiritual liberty," as Tina puts it, feel they are enlightened and that the "fundamentalists" who believe that 2 + 2 = 4 need to be helped to experience this same enlightenment.
