Elderly well-known British writer and broadcaster Ludovic Kennedy decided to become an atheist many years ago, and ever since, he's written books poo-pooing christianity.
Since then, he's been in and out of mental hospitals with depression..
And in his autobiography he tells how in World War Two as a young naval officer, he watched a survivor from a sunk ship drown.
"I could have jumped in to save him" he writes, "but the thought simply never occured to me and I've regretted it ever since"..
