And i’m getting fed up with arrogant twats like you telling people how they should vote.There are many reasons people are voting BNP and it doesn’t make them mindless racists.I should remember dick head that the majority of people in this country hate all this political correctness and left wing nonesense that all three mainstream parties are displaying,especially when it comes to immigration.Im sorry to tell you your sort have had your day and the right are on the rise.

The vast majority of the country is Christian, with a Christian history and Christian influenced culture. Even if a person such as yourself is not a practising Christian, you’re still a secular Christian, as are many Brits these days.

I’m sure that once the Muslim population grows beyond the 3% of population mark and the demand is there, we may see TV coverage of events during Ramadan and the like.

Interestingly my school was a Christian school, although practising Christians made up a tiny minority. Despite being a Christian school we ended up learning more in religious studies about other religions than we did about Christianity. Christianity and the Christian Church had played a far more important role in the culture and history of most of us pupils than the other beliefs we learnt about. I feel it’s a shame that most of the ‘Christian’ kids ended up being more familiar with what Sikhism’s about than the religion and church that had shaped their country.

Couple of points that I felt obliged to make:

1. In certain parts of the country, Easter is no longer the date which defines the spring holiday – many of the Scottish education authorities take the first 2 weeks in April regardless of when Easter falls.

2. Regardless of the multicultural nature of our society, the majority still regard Britain as a “Christian” country, with a Christian Queen and Prime Minister. We also have a strong Christian heritage.

3. Don’t confuse “Christian” and “Catholic”. Likewise, don’t confuse “religion” with faith.

4. Don’t think for a moment that non-denominational schools mean that the curriculum is in any way ‘unbiased’.
