    There is plenty of anecdotal and documented evidence of individuals and councils attempting to follow some poorly thought through guidlelines offered by whatever body governs them at that particular time and ending up doing frankly silly things like playing down Christmas or even banning religious symbols during Advent and Christmas in case they offend, and then bending over backwards to "involve and integrate" minority religions to the point at which their festivals outweigh or outshine Christian fesitvals. While I do have a faith, that does not impact on my view of the balance of faiths in the UK: Christianity is the major faith and culture, and in this case the two are related and impact on each other. Many of our laws and customs dropped out of the Christian basis in society over many centuries, and whether or not one is a Christian now, that is where our habits and culture was formed. It is what we are. Other cultures and faiths are valuable to us and to our society, give it balance, depth and interest, and deserve respect, but they are not majority, are not where our culture is based and are not our focus. We are the host, they are the guests. If that relationship is respected we can thrive. When the guests try to overpower the host, it is time to re-think.

    Now - call me a racist.
