James Purnell
James Purnell is the head of religious programmes at the BBC who has confessed that he does not believe in God.
According to Daily Star UK, James Purnell was speaking on the Today
programme about the corporation’s commitment to set up a new unit
devoted to improving religious coverage.
But Mr Purnell, who was appointed the BBC’s director of radio and
education in November last year, stunned listeners when he admitted he
was a non-believer.
