my response to the hooha from David Cameron's assertion that Britain is a Christian country

1. April 2014

2. Britain is a Christian country

3. DavidCameron is a Christian Prime Minister

4. Food banks feed hungry people who have
fallen through a Christian benefit system

5. Britain has a Christian attitude towards
immigration

6. Britain has a Christian nuclear deterrent

7. Britain is concluding a war in
Afghanistan which has been fought on
Christian just war principles

8. Christian Britain is engaged in a free
and transparently fair debate about the
independence of Scotland
(If the first minister Alex Salmond gets his way
there will not be one Christian nation
but two this time next year)

9. Erm,
None of the above is true
Attaching the Christian label doesn’t make
a country or person or a policy Christian -
it misrepresents and confuses

10. If you want to know what ‘Christian’ means
– you would do better to find people who
follow the life and teaching of Jesus Christ
whether or not they use the ‘Christian’ label

11. Listen carefully to what they say
Watch carefully what they do
…and apply liberal doses of salt and light!
