It would appear that the bias we see by the BBC against religion (except Islam) might have a lot to do with simply trying to eradicate anything and everything which goves an alternate point of view to the one they put forward as the truth.
The only reason they don't vilify Islam in the same way as they do the others is because they're afraid of the comeback, as well as alienating a large perventage of their 'world' audience.
A similar dynamic would explain their present day antagonism to Royalty, and as evidenced by the story below, to the Queen.

People love the Queen... and the BBC hates us for it

The day the Queen dies will be a great test for all of us.
Those who live to see it, and let us hope it is a long way off, will be forced to face many frightening truths, much as we do when a parent dies.
I expect that the enemies of Britain – mostly British themselves, expensively nurtured in our finest schools and universities and generously employed by our great institutions – will take the opportunity for a new and spiteful campaign against the throne.
We now know for certain that the BBC will be among them.
We know this thanks to the honest anger of the Left-wing playwright Sir David Hare, a decent man increasingly outraged by the many sicknesses of our cheap society.
Sir David revealed last week that he was approached by the Corporation hoping he would record something critical about the Queen, to be broadcast on the night of her death.
Long to reign over us: Puerile employees at the BBC are trying to gather derogatory marterial about the 'dedicated and kindly' Queen to use in her obituary
"They told me that everyone they had spoken to had, unsurprisingly, turned out to be an admirer and, in the fabled interests of balance, they needed the opposing point of view," Sir David recalled. He rightly refused.
Look at this carefully and you will see how bad it really is.
The BBC believed they needed to be "balanced" between the enormous majority who love and revere this dedicated and kindly old lady, and the embittered, sneering knot of permanent adolescents who think it terribly bold to be "republicans", whatever that means. This tells us most of what we need to know about the Corporation's true beliefs.
It has for years decided where the "centre" lies in British politics and has put its fat thumb on the scales to ensure that its governing elite's own views are portrayed as respectable and mainstream, whereas anyone else's are spittle-flecked and extreme.
Amazingly, people are still fooled by a crude trick that would get a greengrocer prosecuted by the weights and measures inspectors.
This has meant classifying rather more than half the population as either stupid or ill-intentioned and never allowing their opinions to be broadcast without some sort of implied health warning.
That's how it is.
How do these people justify their indefensible rigging of the national debate? They don't even try. They pretend they are not doing it.
They wield the absolute, unaccountable power of a medieval monarchy. And then they have the nerve to claim to be freedom-loving radicals.
