The 21st century will be poorer in spirit and ambition, less focused on social justice, less sensitive to conscience and the common good, without a full and proper recognition of the role that the great faiths can and do play.

This from the guy who went blundering into Iraq alongside the US? LoL! I thought "hypocrite" was in the Oxford English dictionary? Maybe Tony didn't read that far yet?
He's just pushing the idea that he's religious to try to cover up the fact that he aided the US in their mass slaughter of Iraqis.
An excellent sarcastic piece by dawkins showing the inanity of the logic. You are right faith promotes lack of social justice and conscience more than it impedes.
deang: Sadly, Mr Blair used his religion to justify that decision at the time, much as Mr Bush did (although not so vociferously).
