Dear Editor:
RE: ‘Incredulous thinking,’ April 4.
In his amusing letter, David Fast tells us he can’t believe “there really are people like Hank Davis.”
Unfortunately, Mr. Fast doesn’t seem to have read my March 28 letter (Beliefs not shared) very carefully. Like him, I believe that libraries should house material about religion. I just don’t think they should limit their coverage to Christianity.
There’s also room on our shelves for the Quran, the Talmud, and some of the brilliant works about atheism and its place in the modern world. Make it all available. If you limit shelf space to the New Testament, you risk sending a message that Christianity is the only religion or, worse yet, the best one.
That is what I argued against, not that religion has no place on the shelves of our county libraries.
Hank Davis,
