MARKUS BIRDMAN: Son of a preacher man

God sacrificed his son! But a child is for life, not just for Christmas. Birdman explores the contradictions of being a vicar’s son whilst being a non-believer. “My dad’s a vicar, but I’m an atheist, thank God.”

It’s about his relationship with his father, who’s a vicar, his relationship with his daughter, who’s two, and his relationship with God. Who’s never there.

Since becoming a father himself, Markus has come to look at life, his beliefs and fatherhood in a whole new light. What do you teach your kids about God? What do you tell them about the Holy Ghost when you’re still struggling with the father, son bit? When is the right time to discuss boys? How early is too early when teaching them how to swear?
