Republican atheist co-worker amazes me...

19. Yikes, that really is crazy talk.

I have yet to hear that being a Christian nation will make life better for everyone, no matter what religion/no religion.

David Cameron said he believed Britain to be a Christian country, and warned against a secularist culture. He defined Christian values as ‘responsibility, hard work, charity, compassion, humility, self-sacrifice, love, pride in working for the common good, and honouring the social obligations we have to one another, to our families and our communities’.

These qualities could as easily have defined the values of Jews and Muslims. No doubt, this was deliberate, enabling Mr Cameron to say that the more Christian Britain is, the more other faiths can feel welcome in this country — not just because of tolerance, but because different groups have those values in common.

But you have not surprised me that the American and British Christian fundamentalists are working together...that old missionary mentality is alive and well.
