Re: Just like the Peoples Fronts and Judea

"I admit there is a somewhat millitant movement in America, but this is Britain."

Where the titular head of state is also the head of the Church of England.

Where senior Anglican clerics are guaranteed a number of voting seats in the making of national civil laws.

Where Parliament and other government assemblies start with a prayer.

Where state-funded schools have a legal requirement to have an assembly as an act of religious worship.

Where businesses are constrained in opening hours on a Sunday because of Christian religious lobbying.

Where religions are allowed exceptions to human equality laws on grounds of their dogma.

Where state-funded schools with a religious backer are allowed to negate the mandated teaching of sex education.

Where the Catholic Church is lobbying to allow them to run state-funded schools with 100% of their pupils selected by that religion.

These are only some of the more obvious ways that religions are allowed a pernicious influence on the UK out of proportion to their congregation size.
