Brian Cox says the Bible is “one of the worst books ever”

Brian Cox has expressed his opinions on religion in a new interview, and has criticised the Bible as being “one of the worst books ever”.The Succession star spoke with Rich Leigh on the latest episode of The Starting Line Podcast, where he opened up about the impacts of religion on politics and humanity.On whether religion holds humanity back, the 77-year-old actor responded: “Oh considerably, yes – I think religion does hold us back because it’s belief systems which are outside ourselves.”He explained: “They’re not dealing with who we are, we’re dealing with, ‘Oh if God says this and God does that’, and you go, ‘Well what is God?’ We’ve created that idea of God, and we’ve created it as a control issue, and it’s also a patriarchal issue … and it’s essentially patriarchal – we haven’t given enough scope to the matriarchy.”He went onto explain why he disapproves of the Bible, referencing its representation of arguably patriarchal narratives.“It’s Adam and Eve, I mean the propaganda goes right way back – the Bible is one of the worst books ever, for me, from my point of view,” he shared.“Because it starts with the idea that Adam’s rib – you know that [from] Adam’s rib, this woman was created, and they’ll believe it cause they’re stupid enough.”He continued: “They need it, but they don’t need to be told lies, they need some kind of truth, and that is not the truth.
