I can very much believe that someone in Williams' position will meet a relatively lot of secular people who do make the world significantly worse through selfishness - politicians and Important Businesspeople - and that if most of your personal contact is either with religious people or mostly Important non-religious people, it can be easy to think if only everyone would recognize the humanity and subjectivity of their fellows everything would be fixed, because 'if only' all MPs and bank board members recognised that, a lot of things would be fixed. IE it possibly could be the result of his job meaning spending time with secular people who are both unusually selfish and unusually important.
Good luck with your preparation for the Sweden event! I'm sorry for coming across as a naysayer in your post about it, it sounds really important and exciting and I hope you're able to get to a place where you feel like you did it well!
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
