With over 5 million views of the preview clip which contained the controversial comments, Stephen Fry says he is happy that it’s got people talking about religion.
He is, however, astonished that it caused “so viral an explosion on Twitter and elsewhere. I’m most pleased I think that it’s got people talking.”
Fry was interviewed on BBC Radio 4 this morning and said he intended absolutely no offence to anyone from any religion.
Going on to say “I don’t think I mentioned once any particular religion and I certainly didn’t intend – I know I didn’t – to say anything offensive towards any particular religion. I said quite a few things that were angry at this supposed God.”
