Britain's Christians Are Being Vilified, Warns Lord Carey Christians are being “persecuted” by courts and “driven underground” in the same way that homosexuals once were, a former Archbishop of Canterbury has warned.
Lord Carey argues that in 'case after case' British courts have failed to protect Christian values. He urges European judges to correct the balance. By John Bingham 13 Apr 2012
Lord Carey says worshippers are being “vilified” by the state, treated as “bigots” and sacked simply for expressing their beliefs. The attack is part of a direct appeal to the European Court of Human Rights before a landmark case on religious freedom.
In a written submission seen by The Daily Telegraph, the former leader of more than 70 million Anglicans warns that the outward expression of traditional conservative Christian values has effectively been “banned” in Britain under a new “secular conformity of belief and conduct”.
His comments represent one of the strongest attacks on the impartiality of Britain’s judiciary from a religious leader. He says Christians will face a “religious bar” to employment if rulings against wearing crosses and expressing their beliefs are not reversed.
Lord Carey argues that in “case after case” British courts have failed to protect Christian values. He urges European judges to correct the balance.
The hearing, due to start in Strasbourg on Sept 4, will deal with the case of two workers forced out of their jobs over the wearing of crosses as a visible manifestation of their faith. It will also take in the cases of Gary McFarlane, a counsellor sacked for saying that he may not be comfortable in giving sex therapy to homosexual couples, and a Christian registrar, who wishes not to conduct civil partnership ceremonies.

Great Britain has gone much farther downhill than the U.S.
The left won’t rest until it has completely destroyed Christianity.
Don’t worry...an extended stay in a reeducation camp will do wonders for your emerging malaise. Everything is OK, Comrade.
Read the comments. England is finished.
It is time for another great awakening here, or we will be before long.
God Help and Bless the United States of America. God Bless Israel. God Bless Texas.
Christians will learn to be much more conning and effective undergound. Atheists will rue the day...
” Great Britain has gone much farther downhill than the U.S.”
Don’t worry. Obama will be worse if he gets back in.
It is time for Christians to band together and look out for our own. We need to evangelize the works of Jesus while at the same time working to promote those who share our values. We need to only hire, do business with, and promote to positions of power other Christians.

I agree.
I don’t remember when every piece of news I read was so distressing.
God save us.
Oh well. England is the latest casuality in the war that has been going on between the christians and the muslims since the 9th century, the original cold war. Don’t sugar coat it, call it for what is: an all out war, and as of late things seem to be picking up a bit. Where are the Crusaders when you need them? Turn the other cheek only gets you so far when you face extermination.
There are Christians in Britain?

An express bullet train to hell. Anyone who thinks "Well, it can't get TOO bad" is deceiving himself.
I do declare, Queen Victoria wouldn’t know the place if she could come back for a glimpse. British people can never get enough of long-term liberalism.
Christian ghettos? Christian only communities with businesses, schools, hospitals, segregation enforced to retain our rights?

Patrick Buchanan has been saying this for years. To great vilification from ...ahem....many sides, of course.
Play the same nepotism game that religious, ethnic and racial “minorities” have been engaged in for decades.

When the Muslims gain ascendancy, the ruling elites and Lefties will be given a choice: be enslaved, convert to Islam, or die. A lot of the Left and elites will die and not know why they're being killed. What fools they are. This will not end well.
