All that Giles Fraser (The world is getting more religious, because the poor get God, 27 May) has managed to say in 700 words is that religion is indeed the opium of the masses and sadly, in an increasingly unequal world, people will turn to myth and superstition to comfort them in their impotence to do anything about it.

• Jonathan Jones writes, “Is that the Caravaggio diet – breastmilk for adults? It’s almost mad enough to become fashionable” (Feature, 28 May). I hate to break it to him, but adults have been drinking breastmilk for hundreds of years – it’s just thatit’s intended for baby cows, not baby humans.

• Roger being interpreted as meaning something other than someone’s name (Letters, 28 May) rather depends on one’s sensibilities. A memorable opening sequence of The Simpsons showed Bart writing repeatedly on a blackboard: “Pork is not a verb.”
