Margaret Atwood: Faith & Reason

Today, I read a post written by Charles Jensen on Margaret Atwood's THE HANDMAID'S TALE. His post reminded me of two things: (1) When I was a Livejournal user, for a few months I had "Margaret Mondays"-- I posted an Atwood poem each Monday. (2) There are fantastic youtube clips of an Atwood interview discussing religion. The interview is split into three videoes (which you can find below). If you've read any Atwood work, you know she's a literary genius; if you haven't read her work, the youtube clips will give you a taste of her genius.
