Roger Scruton
From Conservapedia
Roger Vernon Scruton (1944 - ) is a British philosopher. He is a well-known conservative ideologue and has argued in favor of foxhunting. He is widely regarded as one of the most important living British conservative philosophers.
Scruton's attitude to religion and atheism is complex. He appears to have no truck with the truth of religious belief: "The Genesis story of the creation is easily refuted as an account of historical events". However he sees religion and rite as an essential in the creation and maintenance of the social order. [1]
