POLL SUPPORTS CLAIM THAT BRITAIN IS STILL A CHRISTIAN NATION
The vast majority of Britons think that Christian values are good for the country even if they do not personally believe in God, according to a recently released survey. The report noted that 74 percent of those questioned said that children should be brought up with Christian values and 71 percent agreed that Christianity should continue to be taught in schools. A full 27 percent of the population also reportedly said that they still regarded the Bible as a reliable guide to how they ought to live. The poll will encourage those who argue that Britain remains an essentially Christian country despite growing secularism.
Joel Edwards, the general director of the Evangelical Alliance, one of the organizations who conducted the poll, said the results show that "millions of people recognized the positive benefits of Christian values. Forgiveness, respect, hope and trust are rooted in the Christian faith and they are the antidote to a culture that is being railroaded into an individualistic, rights-orientated mentality," Mr Edwards said.
