I don't think Z would use the word radical to describe himself--his leftward drift has been very gradual--but about this particular thing, radical might not be an inaccurate word. He just knew too many people who were Catholic not because they had heartfelt faith, but because they had been made afraid to be anything else, and it just doesn't have to be that way. I agree with him that Christiantiy has too many good things going for it for that kind of coercion and fear of difference to be necessary to a Christian uprbringing, or a Christian adulthood.
