UK Christians Waking Up:
Poll Shows One in Three Suffer Discrimination
Because of Their Views

by Breaking Christian News, March 20, 2007

"We should stand together and fight this discrimination. Christians are being marginalized, yet it is the established religion of this country."

A survey by the BBC program, Heaven and Earth, has revealed "unprecedented disquiet among churchgoing Britons amid claims they increasingly face prejudice in the media, the workplace and even in their own communities." According to the article in This is London, one in three Christians claim to have suffered discrimination because of their religious views.

The report also noted that the poll shows a growing unease that multiculturalism has led to ethnic minority faiths being given special treatment, while meanwhile, there is a fear that the historic importance of Christianity in British life has been pushed to the sidelines. (Photo: Daily Mail.uk)

Referring to recent legislation (SOR) that will force Christian adoption agencies to adopt children to homosexual couples, Tory MP and prominent Roman Catholic Ann Widdecombe said: "We should stand together and fight this discrimination. Christians are being marginalized, yet it is the established religion of this country."

The Rev Malcolm Duncan, of Christian campaigning group Faithworks, added: "The Christian church is suffering more than all other faiths in the UK."

"There is an aggressive secularist agenda that says it's OK to support any group ending in 'ism' but not Okay to support anything connected to Christianity."
