Emphasising uk christianity is a cheap political stunt designed to score cheap easy political points with certain groups. This is straight out of the george w bush / rick perry playbook. Uh huh. Cameron's remarks will gain him some politically but sadly will also help enbolden right wing, anti-immigrant hate groups. The uk may be christian legally but in reality it is a multi-ethnic secular society and that is its greatest strength.
